Following the CMSIS would definitely make development easier, but it comes
with a tradeoff.  The generic nature of it makes it very wordy and somewhat
inefficient (sometimes you have to make several function calls to do what a
single assign could do).  If possible, it might be best to have the compiler
expose the raw registers, and add CMSIS as a unit that can be included in
your application source.
