First off, thanks for splitting this up, looks much better.

Some minor nits here:

Use tabs after the define name and before the value?

How can either of these ever happen?  You control when this is called,
right?  So just make sure that isn't an issue.

This is the kernel, please use kernel types, not userspace types (i.e.
u8 not uint8_t).  Yes, there are lots of places in the kernel that have
userspace types, but let's not add to the mess please.

Why wait this amount of time?  A comment would be nice.  Why not just
do a read to ensure the write happened instead?

Same comment about the type, here and everywhere else.

Comments using // are fine, but please put a space after the "//" to
make them readable

Same commment about the time value, here and everywhere else.  Why slow
things down if you don't have to?
