Personally, I prefer to use __ffs(), because in normal case no need additional '-1',
and abnormal cases should not happen.

Hi,  Ping-Ke

Replace _rtl8821ae_phy_calculate_bit_shift() by __ffs(bitmask) is better,
but I'm not sure what callers should do when callers check bitmask is 0 before calling.
Maybe this check is useless?

I can send a v3 patch if using  __ffs(bitmask) and no check for bitmask is fine.
Or could you send this patch if you have a better idea?
Thanks for your suggestion!
