Thanks for that, result looking good.

Christoffer: I think we could simply drop the hunk touching esr.h from
James' patch. After all, even if nothing is using it, this bit still
exists in the ESR register, and there is little gain in dropping its
definition. This would solve the conflict nicely...

Thanks,
