Bit Notation
Multiple-bit fields can include contiguous and noncontiguous bits contained in angle
brackets (< >). Multiple contiguous bits are indicated by a pair of numbers separated
by a colon (:). For example, <9:7,5,2:0> specifies bits 9,8,7,5,2,1, and 0. Similarly,
single bits are frequently indicated with angle brackets. For example, <27> specifies
bit 27.
Bits and fields specified as RO can be read but not written.
Bits and fields specified as RW can be read and written.
Bits and fields specified as WO can be written but not read.
