Different developers > can view it differently. Even from the register separation point of view: it's better to separate the AUX and p0/p1 functions rather than keeping them in the dp_catalog.c together with the rest of the unrelated functions. Note, that dp_link.c also uses dp_reg.h though it doesn't use dp_catalog at all. -- With best wishes Dmitry
