Because the code was written in 2011 (and has been whacked around a few
times every year.

Fixed.

Because we're following i2c which is 0 or not 0, updated to use ret =
i2c_read(...); if (ret) return ret here and throughout.

Fixed.

It's 0/1/2. I don't have a strong preference on if we type this out as
an int or uchar.

I don't see the benefit, especially given the usage we have of just
updating certain bitfields at a time.

OK, it took me a minute to understand your question here. These are
defines to register names, matching the TRM for the part. The register
names are however annoyingly and easily confused as hex values.

These are values as to what level of protection the chip has the
register under.

We can evaluate if there's consolidation to be done here once other
boards go and adapt MPU clock frequency scaling. What registers need to
be whacked on what board are going to decide if we can hide more
details, or not.
