While true, I think there is still some value to this
approach. Certainly a variety of enums can be used to enumerate the
variations, and it does look to me after further reflection that there
are a fair number of flags shared by a variety of chips.

In general though, I think the csr6_mask_* section of the enum is more
useful than the rest of the entries.

Do you have docs describing the changes? I'm looking at select_media()
in v0.91x vs v0.91g-ppc and I'm not perceiving the difference. It
still looks tricky (largely because it has to be I suspect) and the
overall structure seems to be the same.

I tried compiling this against 2.2.15pre17 with zero success, btw. Any
suggestions on what the compile against?
