I did not know this, thanks. I will add this to V2.

Nifty indeed :D. #define DEBUG will be removed for V2, I should have
noticed it for V1...

I tried with a macro but I was not able to pass an array directly to
avoid both the cast and the hard coded length. I saw on other drivers
that I could generate the table dynamically but I'm not a huge fan of that
and I feel like it would look even more clunky...
