This is hard to maintain because there is duplicated code.
The proper way to write a synchronized start/stop trigger is to collect the needed register bits first, and then apply them at once to the register; this works for both single and grouped usage:
Yes, there is duplicated code ... I´ll remove that in a V2 of the patch. But I do not think that it is less readable/maintainable if bit masks are prepared at the place of use ...
Are these whitespace changes deliberate?
No, they are artifacts of inserting/removing debug code at a place where originally a line with nothing but a tabulator is present.
Your comments were all about coding style. Have you had a look at the content of the code?
