Subject says that this patch provides a computation improvement, but as you said above the compiler will perform the shift, so it doesn't seem we will get any benefit. IMHO the original code has better readability as it makes easier to understand that pp->cfg0_size will get the half of resource_size(pp->cfg) size. I would say it is better to drop this patch from the series.
