This provides an unified API for accessing register bit fields

transforming it from peripheral to native CPU encoding is 'unpack'.

For this kind of generic infrastructure, you really should CC the lkml
to get proper review.
Thanks,

Hi Richard,
I didn't want to pollute LKML with the entire driver patchset from the
get-go, just receive some initial feedback from netdev first (hence the
RFC).
How should I proceed? Should I resend just this patch to LKML, or a v2
patchset with LKML copied on the lib patch?
Thanks,
-Vladimir
