I don't get the comment, sorry.

Because your comment for the v1 review was to use FIELD_PREP/FIELD_GET, 
and your other patches for bitfield access only use FIELD_PREP/FIELD_GET.

I really don't care about which macro is used but it wouldn't hurt to 
have some level of consistency between different parts of the code? Why 
not use FIELD_PREP/GET everywhere?

I am not sure what would be cleaner but fine.

Actually on this one I disagree. These fields are not intended to be 
used by anyone, the goal is precisely to hide them behind regmap, and 
the use of raw numbers makes it easier to cross-check the documentation 
and the code. Adding a separate set of definitions would not increase 
readability.
