Hi Rob,

Thanks for reviewing.

As explained by Thomas, backward compatibility is not broken as old
bindings are still documented and supported.

I will update the commit message to reflect that point.

They were unused since the beginning.

These values are still detailed below (in the legacy section).

I will update the name.

A few are used only for NSR, a few only for SEI and others are used for
both. But ok, I will add register ranges.
