The "problem" I had when I looked at the driver was not any one specific
instance. It was just that, for my taste, the code had too many shifts
etc inline with the real code. Replacing 1 << xyz_SHIFT with BIT(xyz_SHIFT)
is not a real improvement, they are just about equal to me, it's just that
there are still too many mechanical things happening that could easily be
tucked away with the suggested approach.

But if you see no value in my suggestion and/or don't what to take the
cleanup one step further, then just leave it as-is.
