The order in which the data is read from the buffer is set by BIOS.
The switch statement was used to enforce the reading order of the
elements and provide additional clarity

Instance.common.is_readonly is only evaluated when the user attempt to
update an attribute current value

> ret = read_int_from_buf(&buffer_ptr, &instance.common.display_in_ui);
> if (ret)
>     ...

Instance.common.display_in_ui has no specific use at this time.

The code was made shorter and easier to understand by replacing the
long statements with

struct integer_data *integer_data = &bioscfg_drv.integer_data[instance_id];
...
integer_data->common.is_readonly = integer;

Same approach was taken for all attribute files.
