It seems this should be & instead of |. The mistake was also present in the windows driver.

This is perfectly normal since those defines were automatically created from the 
firmware source code. It is better to leave the code as it is. If there ever is a firmware update 
and these bits change their values it will be much harder to adjust the driver.
