Agreed, but this is actually a fairly common condition among drivers that used to use macros. It isn't perfect, but at least it is moving in the right direction. I'd rather leave the case change for a later patch series that does only that or has some reason to touch all of the register access sites.

At least the new accessor I introduced is lower case. :-)
