Yeah, you have a point. Another way to write it is:

(1 & (access) ? 0xAA : 0) | \
(2 & (access) ? 0xCC : 0) | \
(4 & (access) ? 0xF0 : 0)

but I think yours is the best.

I am using const to identify a compile-time constant here, so more like
"static const" (but I was not sure if C optimizes away static const, so
I just used "const"). This explains also the empty line!
