On my suggestion you changed the type name from "ipoctal" to
"ipoctal232" - the file name should probably then be updated, too.
For the function prefixes inside the file it shouldn't matter as long as
they're consistent.

By convention:

IPackDevice parent_obj;

SCC2698...

I understand that this device will be used from the command line only,
so the upcoming TYPE_IPOCTAL232 could remain local to this file for the
cast macros (i.e., no ipoctal232.h needed).
But if, as brought up at LinuxCon, you may want to add qtest cases it
may be helpful to move some of the constants above to their own header
file ipoctal232_regs.h as done for RTC or pending for TMP105. That could
be split out in a later step though, once PCI libqos is available.

Andreas

P.S. No need to CC avi@redhat.com any longer, you may have noticed. ;)
