A comment next to them yes, that looks a good idea.
A new structure certainly not.

I know about the ccr that's annoying.
I guess I could make ccr a union and have it contains ccr16 and ccr32.

Note that old driver will still work ... then most likely do
out_be16(&psc->ccr, ...) and the &psc->ccr address didn't change. They
will just have a warning because ccr is a u32 so &psc->ccr is a u32* and
they give it to out_be16 ...
