Please no magic numbers, please use proper named constants with
documentation comments explaining the values.

Also BAR reads here need proper register macro definitions/access.


That is true. :) But this is because there is no register definition in
the OpenRM code/non OpenRM code as well. I have no idea about the name
and bit definitions of this register.

Ah interesting. Let me also look into it on my side, see if I can find more 
information. Thanks for mentioning the challenge.


Suppose I will have to find some clues from some folks then document
them here when going to patches request for merged. :)

Yes, I would say we definitely need to dig more into this ;) fun.


Also the above code is lacking in comments. All the steps above need
proper comments IMO.

General philosophy of Nova is it is a well documented, cleanly
written driver with minimal/no magic numbers and abundant comments. :)


Agree. :)

Thanks :)
