Sparse emits errors about ilog2() in array indices because of the use of __ilog2_32() and __ilog2_64(), rightly so (https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-sparse/msg03471.html). Create a const_ilog2() variant that works with sparse for this scenario. (Note: checkpatch.pl complains about missing parentheses, but that appears to be a false positive. I can get rid of the warning simply by inserting whitespace, making checkpatch "see" the whole macro).
