My personal stance is to make it as easy as possible for the reader of
the code ("optimize for reading, not for writing"), as code is written once,
but read many more times later.
This is not the first time register bits were documented before, and changed
to reserved later.
In this case the resemblance to the SH7786 PCIe block is obvious, and
the SH7786 hardware user's manual is available publicly.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
