When the header file is only included from one other file, it's
usually better to move the entire contents into the .c file.

Try to avoid string concatenation for macro names. It's better
to always pass the full name of the register in there to make
it easier to grep for the usage when trying to understand the
driver as a reader.

Once you do that, just convert the macro into an inline function.

The filter function should not be needed here.
