The naming is done according to the chip datasheet. This is preferable
way to name defines.

this comment is relevant for the following question by Marc.

It is not documented, what is documented is that PKT_STAT_1 to
PKT_STAT_3 should be read in sequence to trigger auto clear function of
this registers. If chip do not latches these values, we will have
additional problem - some counts will be lost in the PKT_STAT_1/2 till we with
PKT_STAT_3 will be done.

With other words, I'll do more testing and add corresponding comments in
the code..
