This is a flag that, like the above ones, indicate the existence of
registers, the types found under indicate a different register layout.
Misusing the naming convention would probably be confusing.

A generic name that don't reference the part type (PCA_???) would
perhaps be better but as I couldn't find any other part with these
registers I left it at that for now.

I'll fix all the style issues you pointed out.
