I don;t think how this would make a difference. Even if the signal is
defined by the hardware dsign - the very moment I am referencing this
signal in any piece of software I should explain it so the reader of
the code understands what I'm doing.

Using meaningful names instead of magic numbers is a minimum to do.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
