As an idly-curious passer-by, this looks perfectly reasonable to me - I
don't see why a mapping between names and indices should have to be
artificially constrained just because the names happen to contain
numerals. If it's really that abhorrent, then I guess they could be
named something like COMPn_ID for even more clarity.

That said, now that I've gone and looked, the whole business seems
ridiculously over-engineered. AFAICS it would be infinitely simpler to
just pass the register address directly where id is currently passed,
statically define UV_MAX, and get rid of the otherwise-pointless struct
comparator entirely. The current abstraction doesn't look like it could
actually scale to support different chips without major surgery anyway.

Robin.
