Hi Michael,

Why?  

I'm not against driver authors only introducing register defines they
are using, but I'm also not against them deciding on comprehensive defines
or at least making sure they cover all the fields in a given register.

Having only parts of a register defined sometimes makes people miss
that they can't just write the whole thing because there may be other
bits they do not indent to change. As such it can be useful to have them there.

Thanks,

Jonathan
