OK - so  just have:
#define DYTC_UP_SUPPORT_BIT    8  /* Ultra-performance (TMS) mode support */

Or...reading ahead in the review this should actually be
#define DYTC_UP_SUPPORT_BIT    BIT(8)  /* Ultra-performance (TMS) mode support */

Agreed. I will make that change.
I'll wait and see if there is any more feedback and then do that with a v2 patch.

Happy to look at doing that as I'm playing around with this driver anyway.

Thanks for the review!
