yes, I'll add static inline for all this.

yep, will do.

I prefer splitting variables and code, I just can't mentally split the two.

The intent was to provide a visual cue that the register is not 
implemented, which is quite useful. Not all registers are mandatory and 
not all vendors document the entire set of registers, so it's a good way 
to figure things out. The value is not used for any functional purpose, 
it's just a register dump for the integrator to look at. I'll add a note 
to explain the idea.
