This is doing way more than that; it removes a lot of defines and
replaces them with constants, making it all but impossible to reliably
review the patch. That alone makes it unacceptable. On top of that,
I am not going to participate in a "thou shall use defines" vs.
"thou shall use raw constants" editing war. The driver uses defines
for constants. Keep using them.
