If you've ever had to write a program which interfaces directly with hardware — perhaps while writing a program for an MCU or embedded system or a kernel driver — you may have noticed a few common patterns in register map behaviour and design. I'm not sure anyone has ever really collected them together, so I decided to make a list of all the ones I can think of.

    The 8m register is names as if its width were an integerpower of 8. But half of the sizes aren't. Only 8 = 81 and 64 = 82 are.
