Fix is to create MLX5_SET64_VCHK that takes an additional argument
that is a constant. There are two callers of MLX5_SET64 that are
trying to get a variable offset, change those to call MLX5_SET64_VCHK
passing pas[0] as the argument to use in the offset check.

I think I'd separate the array index instead.
Something like:

#define MLX5_SET64_INDEXED(typ, p, fld, ndx, v) do { \
        BUILD_BUG_ON(__mlx5_bit_off(typ, fld) % 64); \
        __MLX5_SET64(typ, p, fld[ndx], v); \
} while (0)

Yes, I think this looks more natural, but instead MLX5_SET64_INDEXED,
I prefer to have 2 macros
MLX5_SET64(typ, p, fld, v) and MLX5_ARRAY_SET64(typ, p, fld, idx, v).

Tom, do you want me to fix it ?

Please do.

Saeed,

Do you success to send this patch before -rc1 is released? So Linus's
-rc1 will be clean from such build error.

Just submitted the patch, it seems that i have issues with my other
Mailer, sometimes e-mails take a while to appear in the mailing list.
I Hope the patch will arrive on time for Dave to pick it it up.

Thanks,
-Saeed.
