Why? I'm not going to introduce new header file for prototypes which
depend on constants defined in other header files, unless there is a
really good reason. Please note that the prototypes for the existing
generic functions in common.c are defined in ch9.h and otg.h.

These functions are _generic_ helpers for dealing with definitions in
ch9.h and otg.h, so I don't really see any reason for putting their
prototypes anywhere else then into those same headers.


Thanks,
