Good point.

Thinking more about this point, if we are going to follow hardware if 
might be better to have:

#define STM32F4_RCC_AHB1_GPIOA 0
#define STM32F4_RCC_AHB1_GPIOA 1
...
#define STM32F4_RCC_APB2_LTDC 26


#define STM32F4_AHB1_RESET(x) (STM32F4_RCC_AHB1_##x##_BIT + (0x10 * 8))
#define STM32F4_AHB2_RESET(x) (STM32F4_RCC_AHB2_##x##_BIT + (0x14 * 8))
...
#define STM32F4_APB2_RESET(x) (STM32F4_RCC_APB2_##x##_BIT + (0x24 * 8))

Its more typing (or copy 'n pasting) by at least every number now maps 
directly to the datasheet.
