Yes, I know, but in this case an exception makes sense.

I prefer to use the exact same register mnemonics as in the hardware
documentation, whenever possible. That way, anyone later working on
the driver with hardware manual in hand (and they should be doing that
way) will immediately see the connection.

I am not sure. What does cpu_relax() do exactly, and when is it safe
to call?

Thanks,
