Making it volatile will solve it.

The reason is that the ctrl member is not used anywhere else (except for
some printf's) sothe compiler just strores the value in a register an
optimizes away the access to the datastructure (and your hardware). 
By making it volatile, you force the compiler to never optimize away the
accesses.

BTW. your original code would probably have worked with -O0
optimizattion level.
