This one was much suggestion.  Not particularly important one.

Personally if a datasheet is pointlessly confusing I tend to ignore it.
This is a two bit field as the bits don't have independent meaning!

I'm not strongly tied to it though and as it's an Analog driver and
you all do a good job maintaining the set I'll go with your preference!
I do prefer the naming of PATTERN_GOOD though if nothing else!
