I wanted to make the helper self-contained and work in both cases. But
since I ended up only using this helper only in the console code and
will need to move it anyway (under the console ifdef), perhaps I can
consider dropping it. But then again, it's just one register read.

No, I don't use open-parenthesis alignment unless that's the
(consistent) style of the code I'm changing (e.g. to avoid unnecessary
realignments when symbol names change and to make a point about
checkpatch --pedantic warnings not being part of the coding style).

Yes, I need to move the helper under the console ifdef. I was just
waiting to see if there was any further feedback before respinning.

Thanks for reviewing.
