This is a rather large patch, making it hard to review. Please could
you break it up into smaller patches, with good commit messages.

This pattern of using reg8() appears a few times. That could be one
patch.

Adding this helper and using it could be a patch.

All these ENOTSUPP could be a patch.

etc.
