... and the union ... and the _unnecessary_ bitfields. You can make an
argument that ->ctrl_result should be a bitfield. The other
structure members, not so much. Make them standalone unsigned integers.

But, when it's down to a single bit in an otherwise completely
unpopulated byte-sized field, your arguments for using a bitfield kinda
dry up. But, heck, if that's the hill you want to die on, who am I to
stop you?
