Some of them are rather a bug, likely the wrong register and data is
used (left instead of right).  They have to be fixed instead of
removing.

And some are indeed unused, but I'd leave them with ifdef or such.
Such magical values do have some meaning (as the driver code was the
result from reverse-engineering) and blindly removing it also loses
the information -- though, the driver is tad old and likely broken, so
practically seen no big impact.


thanks,

Takashi
