Yes, but R2025 and R2221 have a few registers in common (PON, VDET). The meaning
of XST and XSTP I think are the same, even though they have flipped logic.

Yes, I agree. I have another patch that does exactly what you suggest. We reset
the different bits (XSTP, PON, VDET) in set time and return an error in read
time if the xstp bit is set. I will send it to you.

Yes sure. With some help, or examples from you guys I can do that.
