[PATCH 0/9] bitfield: tidy up bitfield.h

From: David Laight <redacted>

Re-send with patches going to everyone.
(I'd forgotten I'd set 'ccCover = 0'.)

I noticed some very long (18KB) error messages from the compiler.
Turned out they were errors on lines that passed GENMASK() to FIELD_PREP().
Since most of the #defines are already statement functions the values
can be copied to locals so the actual parameters only get expanded once.

The 'bloat' is reduced further by using a simple test to ensure 'reg'
is large enough, slightly simplifying the test for constant 'val' and
only checking 'reg' and 'val' when the parameters are present.

The first two patches are slightly problematic.

drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfpcore/nfp_nsp_eth.c manages to use
a #define that should be an internal to bitfield.h, the changed file
is actually more similar to the previous version.

drivers/thunderbolt/tb.h passes a bifield to FIELD_GET(), these can't
be used with sizeof or __auto_type. The usual solution is to add zero,
but that can't be done in FIELD_GET() because it doesn't want the value
promoted to 'int' (no idea how _Generic() treated it.)
The fix is just to add zero at the call site.
(The bitfield seems to be in a structure rad from hardware - no idea
how that works on BE (or any LE that uses an unusual order for bitfields.)

Both changes may need to to through the same tree as the header file changes.

The changes are based on 'next' and contain the addition of field_prep()
and field_get() for non-constant values.

I also know it is the merge window.
I expect to be generating a v2 in the new year (someone always has a comment).

David Laight (9):
  nfp: Call FIELD_PREP() in NFP_ETH_SET_BIT_CONFIG() wrapper
  thunderblot: Don't pass a bitfield to FIELD_GET
  bitmap: Use FIELD_PREP() in expansion of FIELD_PREP_WM16()
  bitfield: Copy #define parameters to locals
  bitfield: FIELD_MODIFY: Only do a single read/write on the target
  bitfield: Update sanity checks
  bitfield: Reduce indentation
  bitfield: Add comment block for the host/fixed endian functions
  bitfield: Update comments for le/be functions
