Please follow the patch submission process in SubmittingPatches.  This
doesn't visually resemble most patch submissions...

Makes sense to map things in for diagnostics...

Capitalisation is wrong Here.

Coding style.

There's no unused values in the selector?

Why is this not just global static data?  There's nothing variable
here...

Remove this - it's just noise, apart from anything else nothing here has
actually verified that the chip exists.
