Thanks for your quick response, I'm OK with most changes. Some comments
inline.

It's the abbreviation of REQUEST, on spec these fields names
REQUEST_FEC_MODE_X_X

It is the polling for regmap read/write, the regmap is also called
regbus, so I name ns_bus here.

I could change the name, do you think there is confusing also for 
ns_bus_reg_read & ns_bus_reg_write?
