The PRR register is in the I/O space.  If the address is 0x31 or less, you can use the IN and OUT instructions; otherwise, you must use LDS and STS to read/write the register.  It is useful to use one of the macros that yields IN/OUT or LDS/STS depending on the port referenced - especially so if you're writing code to run on several different devices where a particular register is in the IN/OUT range on some devices but not so on others.

Often, it is instructive to write some C code for some particular functionality and then examine the code the compiler generates.  How one does that depends on which C compiler is being used.
