Hardware can report anything, multiple bits set at once, garbage
values, etc.

So to me it doesn't make much sense to expect only one bit set
and only handle specific well defined bits.

This is the error path in an interrupt handler, just print the
raw bits instead of trying to pretty print them please.

Void pointers never need to be cast to another type of pointer.

Please fix this up in your entire submission.
