In your chip's ops definition, as for any ops structure. Same as for
your example right below which is unfortunately not a solution per-se.

Until a new chip relocates a feature somewhere else.

Then you'll have to rename the structure member(s) because you have a
policy saying "no prefix means different set of registers".
