Well, not completely arbitrary, but maybe unnecessary... I'll change
that. I'll also change that for any symbols/defines off course.

Thanks!

Fine.

Fine.

Well, the registers are not in a regmap, so I did not consider that. The
utility function also serves to abstract the variant register address.

I'm glad you think so...

I hope my previous comments have cleared this up.
