Mmmh, why all these members? Aren't those all the same, just offset by
0x10? So we just need a single value reg_offs, being either 0x0 or 0x10?

What it this about? It's the same stride for both versions, so why is
this a field?

This doesn't look right. Differentiating between slightly different
hardware revision via the compatible string is a common pattern, look
at for instance drivers/media/rc/sunxi-cir.c and its usage of quirks for
an example how to handle this more nicely.
