These macros need parentheses, otherwise it causes a macro expansion bug
when they are used like this:

	ch->flags &= ~IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IBSS;

This was found using Smatch:
drivers/staging/rtl8821ae/regd.c:200 _rtl_reg_apply_beaconing_flags()
	warn: the 'IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IBSS' macro might need parens

just one minor hint ...
could we settle for a common semantic here either 1<<2 or BIT(2) ?


Yeah...  This driver needs a lot of cleanup in later patches.

That will happen soon, for 3.15, in the netdev tree, but for 3.14 we
want this out there as people have the hardware and want to use it (i.e.
me and 1000 others that got the hardware at a recent conference.)

Please clean this up as much as you want, but be aware that this is a temporary solution that was done in a hurry to handle some inconsistencies between staging-next and linux-next. Neither Smatch nor Sparse were run on that version. I suspect there are also endian issues that have not been repaired. I will be reading such E-mails and will include your fixes, but the major cleanup is being done on separate source.
