Vladimir, the purpose of this patch isn't to save lines, but to save us
from always writing MCU_TYPE_USB / MCU_TYPE_PLA.
It just transforms forms of
  ocp_read_word(tp, MCU_TYPE_USB, idx);
  ocp_write_dword(tp, MCU_TYPE_PLA, idx, val);
into
  usb_ocp_read_word(tp, idx);
  pla_ocp_write_dword(tp, idx, val);

The fifth patch of this series saves lines by adding _modify functions,
to transform
  val = *_read(idx);
  val &= ~clr;
  val |= set;
  *_write(idx, val);
into
  *_modify(idx, clr, set);
