Just wondering, is not FIELD_PREP() and SYS_FIELD_GET() does the exact opposite thing.
The earlier builds the entire register value from various constituents, where as the
later extracts a single register field from a complete register value instead. Or did
I just misunderstood something here.

I guess that might be a better place to change the code instead. Because this series
just replaces the derived register field from tools syreg, but will be happy to have
those changes here as well in a separate pre/post patch.

I am afraid, did not get the above. Could you please give some more details.
