Yeah, so I did consider just making it a two-element array
isil,trip-levels-microvolt. But then I didn't know how to express the
enum constraint, i.e. that the first must be one of the 2125000, ...,
4675000 values and the second one of the 1875000, ..., 4125000 ones. Is
that possible, without providing a list of 49 possible pairs? Or is it
sufficient to just write this out in prose?

I'm also happy to use other names for these. I just chose to use the 85
and 75 nomenclature because that matches the field names.

OK.
