I thought I understood the problem with your commit message but
then I don't get this comment. What's the link between 16-bit buses? Is
this preset valid for both 8 and 16-bit bus width?

If this is for dividing per two oobsize value, I would really prefer a
'/ 2' and let the compiler optimize things. Unless the spec is explicit
about some shifting of course.

Thanks for fixing this.
