the types are already confused, but long here is fine as any other.  uintptr_t
is not really any more correct.  serial_reg comes in as an unsigned_word via
the memory read/write callbacks, (encoded) cast to void*, and (decoded) cast
to long.  the memory read/write callbacks verify the values are always within
the serial_register_types enum range which looks like [0,16] range, so any of
these types work.

i don't know which one you mean, or why you think any of them are pointless.
the nr_bytes checks are in the read/write code paths of the memory mapped
register callbacks.  so nr_bytes is needed & correct there.

the uintptr_t casts happen when passing information to the scheduled callback
which is after the nr_bytes checks.

i'm not anti trying to clean up these device models, i just don't have any
personal interest in them, so i'm not inclined to spend time on them anymore
than compiler warnings/failures force me to, or to make progress in unifying
all the ports.  the lack of test coverage also makes me a bit inclined to not
get too invasive if i can avoid it.
