Now there is this design pattern where you copy the datasheet
register map to a struct again.

This is not good if there is a second revision of the hardware and some
registers are shuffled around. IMO it is better to just use #defines
for register
offsets, so you can do exceptions later. Else a new hardware revision
leads to a new struct with new accessor functions etc etc.
