Because your comment for the v1 review was to use FIELD_PREP/FIELD_GET,
and your other patches for bitfield access only use FIELD_PREP/FIELD_GET.
I really don't care about which macro is used but it wouldn't hurt to
have some level of consistency between different parts of the code? Why
not use FIELD_PREP/GET everywhere?

I am not sure what would be cleaner but fine.

Actually on this one I disagree. These fields are not intended to be
used by anyone, the goal is precisely to hide them behind regmap, and
the use of raw numbers makes it easier to cross-check the documentation
and the code. Adding a separate set of definitions would not increase
readability.
