The register offsets do differ, but the group of registers for the host
differs from the group of registers for the endpoint by a fixed amount.
(MHIREGLEN = 0x0000 for host, or 0x100 for endpoint; CRCBAP_LOWER is
0x0068 for host, 0x0168 for endpoint.)

In other words, can you instead use the same symbolic offsets, but
have the endpoint add 0x0100 to them all?  It would make the fact
that they're both referencing the same basic in-memory structure
more obvious.

Yay!!! For all three of the above.

Again, please eliminate all _SHIFT definitions where they define
the low bit position of a mask.

Maybe you can add some underscores for readability?

Even if you don't do that, you could add a comment here or there to
explain what certain abbreviations stand for, to make it easier to
understand.  E.g., CHDB = channel doorbell, CCA = channel context
array, BAP = base address pointer.
