Yes please, I would want that very much. I'm not very good at reading
and storing hex values in my head! That's why I broke down the above
registers to strings and decimal values.
The discussions at
https://lore.kernel.org/all/PH0PR11MB5611FD22CF6E12F7226FA9C081E12@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
reports the full datasheet, and I stated:

which you have done (point 3), and is great progress in the series.

I still believe steps 1 is important to this development. You have done
step 3 I think. And now both step 2 and (later) step 4 are possible as we
have the datasheet.
