I'm still not particularly happy with this.  Can yo speak to your H/W
guys and get them to change their scripts to output sensible header
files?

To be honest, it's probably not a blocker for acceptance, but if someone
writes a patch next week to change all of the (0x01 << X) lines to
start using the BIT() macro, I will accept it.  Better to influenced
your guys so you are not overly inconvenienced.

FWIW, when upstreaming code, the excuse "someone else wrote it", has
never been a good one to use on the lists.   Believe me, I've
tried. ;)
