That's not even close to the chip. Dabbling around with the ISA doesn't tell you much about the micro architectural features of the chip. I'm sure "do some bit twiddling" is absurd advice for someone who has written a driver.

is all of it absurd advice? its about breaking abstract problems into smaller digestible problems to get a mental map

I dont think you need to write a driver for that map
