To me it seems like this is a much better way of doing it because it removes
one source of error with the shift being incorrect. This way it also mirrors
the reference manual more closely.
One possible issue is that it's not really consistent with sysreg.h because
masks there are from the 0 bit and the shift is used. I suppose doing it this
way is still closer to sysreg.h so it's a net benefit.
I checked converting one register to this format and the compiler still emits
the same thing so if we want to we can go ahead and do all of them.
I'm leaning towards this way because this is what I would have done if it was
from scratch. I just did it with the mask and the shift separately for
consistency.
