I think you're right. Or I fear you're right. But this problem is present in so many drivers that a generic fixup needs to be done with a script and across an entire subsystem at once, and besides I'm not sure of these macros disturb so much. They are documentation in a sense, albeit a kind of documentation we used before we had git to record the actual authors of the code.
