who defined it:
  - hobbyist programmer without DMA knowledge 
  - hobbyist programmer without time
  - hobbyist programmer without datasheet access
  - SOC-vendor employed programmer with deadline

who reviewed it:
  - someone without time
  - someone without datasheet access
  - no-one (programmer was part of DT team :)
