Thanks for your patch!
Where is the inconsistency? The driver consistently uses
1. multiplications for bit offset calculations,
2. shifts for bit field extraction or insertion.
While technically equivalent, I think your change makes the code harder
to read: the values are multiplied by eight to convert from number of
bytes to number of bits, so IMHO "BITS_PER_BYTE * n" would be more
readable.
