The talk of "exposing registers" feels concerning - we're trying not to
do that directly. Instead we want to lift out an API that constrains
the behaviour a bit but works for both of us if there's overlap in
functionality.

Can you point to any documentation of the behaviour of your hardware?
It's still a little vague to me.
