This doesn't clarify anything. It makes it less clear because someone
would assume B0 means something but it's just hiding a magic number
behind a meaningless define. B0 means BIT(0) which means nothing. So
now we have to jump through two hoops to find out that we don't know
anything.
Just leave it as-is. Same for the rest.
There problem is a hardware spec which explains what this stuff is.
