s/Find_next_bit/find_next_bit()/ so it's obviously a function name and
we can directly grep for it (in subject also, and capitalize "Avoid").

Please spell out "OOB"; I *assume* that means "out of bounds"?

I agree that the "val" we pass to find_next_bit() needs to be an
"unsigned long", so I like that part.

It's not completely obvious to me that it's safe to cast "val" to
"u32 *" here; does that do the right thing regardless of byte order?

Doing something like:

  u32 status;
  unsigned long val;

  dw_pcie_rd_own_conf(..., &status);

  val = status;
  find_next_bit(&val, ...);

would be more obvious to me.
