My bad, will fix this.

Right,
-#define LD_LAT_NOT_USED (0x00 << 2)
+#define LD_LAT_TOGGLE (0x00 << 2)
But this name sounds strange, do you have a better name?

Bailing on invalid values makes more sense.

OK, will use the EXTRA name and split the patches.
Thanks for review.
Below is the incremental patch. I'll send new version later.
Thanks,
