By the way, to give a more concrete example, this function could look like this:

    fn yas53x_extract_calibration(data: [u8; 8], c: &mut yas5xx_calibration)
    {
        let val = u64::from_be_bytes(data);

        c.a2 = FIELD_GET(GENMASK_ULL(63, 58), val) - 32;
        c.a3 = FIELD_GET(GENMASK_ULL(57, 54), val) - 8;
        c.a4 = FIELD_GET(GENMASK_ULL(53, 48), val) - 32;
        c.a5 = FIELD_GET(GENMASK_ULL(47, 42), val) + 38;
        c.a6 = FIELD_GET(GENMASK_ULL(41, 36), val) - 32;
        c.a7 = FIELD_GET(GENMASK_ULL(35, 29), val) - 64;
        c.a8 = FIELD_GET(GENMASK_ULL(28, 23), val) - 32;
        c.a9 = FIELD_GET(GENMASK_ULL(22, 15), val);
        c.k = FIELD_GET(GENMASK_ULL(14, 10), val) + 10;
        c.dck = FIELD_GET(GENMASK_ULL(9, 7), val) as u8;
    }

assuming `FIELD_GET()` returns `i32`. In particular, `GENMASK_ULL` and
`FIELD_GET` can be written as normal functions, no need for macros
(and can be `const fn` too -- i.e. can be evaluated at compile-time if
needed).

As you see, it looks remarkably similar, and there is no `unsafe`
because we pass the array of bytes instead of a raw pointer.

The caller needs to get the array from somewhere, of course -- if you
only have a raw pointer to start with, then the caller will need an
`unsafe` line to dereference it, as usual.

Cheers,
Miguel
