Some of these are not. See below. You really have to check the datasheet to be sure on these though in the cases here it's obvious from the surrounding lines. Changing those ones to BIT will actively hurt readability. Anyhow, the other cases are good so if you can prepare a patch changing just that and ensd it that would be great. > --- > drivers/staging/iio/cdc/ad7152.c | 12 ++++++------ > 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/staging/iio/cdc/ad7152.c b/drivers/staging/iio/cdc/ad7152.c > index 59d1b35..b2b15b9 100644 > --- a/drivers/staging/iio/cdc/ad7152.c > +++ b/drivers/staging/iio/cdc/ad7152.c > @@ -47,24 +47,24 @@ > #define AD7152_STATUS_PWDN BIT(7) > > /* Setup Register Bit Designations (AD7152_REG_CHx_SETUP) */ > -#define AD7152_SETUP_CAPDIFF (1 << 5) > +#define AD7152_SETUP_CAPDIFF BIT(5) This is indeed a 1 bit field so fine. > #define AD7152_SETUP_RANGE_2pF (0 << 6) > -#define AD7152_SETUP_RANGE_0_5pF (1 << 6) > +#define AD7152_SETUP_RANGE_0_5pF BIT(6) This is clearly putting the value 1 in a 2 bit field within the register - BIT macro obscures this compeltely. > #define AD7152_SETUP_RANGE_1pF (2 << 6) > #define AD7152_SETUP_RANGE_4pF (3 << 6) > #define AD7152_SETUP_RANGE(x) ((x) << 6) > > /* Config Register Bit Designations (AD7152_REG_CFG) */ > -#define AD7152_CONF_CH2EN (1 << 3) > -#define AD7152_CONF_CH1EN (1 << 4) > +#define AD7152_CONF_CH2EN BIT(3) > +#define AD7152_CONF_CH1EN BIT(4) These two are valid I think. > #define AD7152_CONF_MODE_IDLE (0 << 0) > -#define AD7152_CONF_MODE_CONT_CONV (1 << 0) > +#define AD7152_CONF_MODE_CONT_CONV BIT(0) This one is not.
