Consider using packet diagrams to describe register contents

[glopesdev]

This would replace the currently used Gantt diagrams. Example for the R_OPERATION_CTRL register:

---
title: "R_OPERATION_CTRL"
---
%%{
    init: {
        "packet": {
            "bitWidth": 80,
            "bitsPerRow": 8
        }
    }
}%%
packet-beta
  0-1: "OP_MODE"
  2: "-"
  3: "DUMP"
  4: "MUTE_RPL"
  5: "VISUALEN"
  6: "OPLEDEN"
  7: "ALIVE_EN"

One potentially big disadvantage is packet diagrams go from LSB to MSB (the reverse of the current diagrams). Also not very happy with the excessive blank vertical padding in this simple example, although potentially this could be fixed.

They are also lacking the flexibility to easily represent default bit values and implementation "flags". We could use alternative ways to represent these, as it may be confusing to actually pack both spec and defaults into the same diagram, so perhaps these could go into a separate table or bullet list below.
