Ack.

Sure, I'm not attached to the naming ... will wait to hear what colours
everyone else wants the bikehed painted.

As for the implementation, I just went with what was used across
multiple drivers already (no chance of regressions that way) but could
reuse other helpers if it's better..? If the behaviour changes this goes
from a trivial cleanup to a much more invasive changeset. I don't own
half of the hardware here.
