This doesn't clarify anything.  It makes it less clear because someone
would assume B0 means something but it's just hiding a magic number
behind a meaningless define.  B0 means BIT(0) which means nothing.  So
now we have to jump through two hoops to find out that we don't know
anything.

Just leave it as-is.  Same for the rest.

There problem is a hardware spec which explains what this stuff is.
