A good question. My excuse is that I was expecting it to be a u16.
The max value the registers can hold is 11 bits, so u16 would be
more than enough for our needs.

Looks like we store these as u32 in the struct as well so we end
up wasting a bit of memory. I'll go write a patch to shrink it
a bit.
