Yes for this register there are no pulls. But I there are others that
have pull bits.

I'd like to avoid mapping both enable and disable for everything
which seems bloated..

..so this 4 params option makes sense to me assuming it works
for your case.

It seems that the 4 params option is most generic to me.
