It would be preferrable to comment what is supported rather than have a 
comment like above which isn't particularly helpful.

It would be better to put this BIT() into the define itself and remove 
_BIT from the name because it doesn't really add that much information.
Since you're assigning to bool, ? true : false construct is not required 
but implicit cast will handle it for you. So in the end, this line would 
be:

	dytc_ultraperf_cap = output & DYTC_UP_SUPPORT;

Looking into the driver a bit more, there are a few other defines which 
could also move BIT() from the code into defines. Please tell if you're 
going to look at those because if not, I might try to make the patches.
