I have several arguments against composing this register from scratch:

1/ the reset value of this register is non-null for both of our
platforms and it could be meaningful to keep some of these values.

2/ one bitfield could use different values between Zynq and AT91: RXBMS
(1kB to 8kB for Zynq and 512 to 4KB for AT91), with same encoding.

3/ and well, this is the type of register with multiple bits that are
marked as "reserved" and that experience tells that they might be
connected to something...

So, I'm all for correcting the code like what Edgar suggests.
