Nah, keep them in. It's not like it was bloating the binary anyway :)

Yup.

Sounds good.

Yup, though beware of concurrent access to GPIO registers... we might
want a bit of common code with a spinlock in it to "wrap" accesses to
them.

Yeah, leave it there.

No need to be too anal about removing things from .h files.

Ben.
