i.e.

We have BITS_PER_TYPE(). Use it directly in the code, no need for a
whole new macro.

This can't be called during IRQ?

BITS_PER_TYPE() ?

One line?

Missed blank line here.

The whole bunch looks like reinventing the bitmap / bitops.
Use unsigned long (or DECLARE_BITMAP() if it can be higher than 32)
for state and set_bit() / clear_bit() / assign_bit() that are atomic.

assign_bit()

devm_bitmap_zalloc() ?

Not sure I understand the output, but perhaps here the BITS_TO_BYTES()
should be used.
