Register info types suggestions

Here are all the register infotypes
I could find that we at IBM might use for Dita Semiconductor specialization.


Register information Elements (Submitted
by Duane Becker)

Register Block Long Name
Register Block Short Name
Register Block Base Address    
           If offset is not
used, then base address is the primary address.
Register Block Offset    
               
   Starting offset from Register Block Base Address for
this register block.
Register Block Short Description  
     For what is this register block essentially
used?
Register Block Long Description  
             Detailed
accounting of the purpose of this register block.

Register Overall Description  
     This is a synopsis of a register, a brief "what
is it used for". This might
         
               
      be used as a pop-up help for a debugger tool.

Register Detailed Description  
     This is a more detailed overall description
of a register, but doesn't
         
               
      necessarily go into bit field-level descriptions.

Register Base Address
Register Offset Address
Register Access Type      
         (read/write, read/clear,
read/set, write only, read only, etc)
Register Access Granularity    
   Byte, Word, Doubleword, etc.
Dimension1        
               If
this is a single register, then Dimension1 must equal 0. If the register
is
         
               
      a linear array, this indicates how many rows
there are in the array.
Dimension2        
               If
this is a single register or a linear array, this value must equal 0.
         
               
      If this is a rectangular array, this provides
the number of columns.
OffsetDelta1        
               This
indicates the incremental address offset to Dimension1 for each repeated
row.
OffsetDelta2        
               This
indicates the incremental address offfset to Dimension2 for each repeated
column.

Reset Value        
               Hexadecimal
without any special annunciators. The target post-processor
         
               
      would have to format it as required by the
individual company's style. 'X' can
         
               
      be used to indicate that the register is not
reset to any particular value.
         
               
      
Reset Triggers      
               
 A set of codes or values or bitnames or signalnames that
indicate
         
               
      what actions can reset the register.
