GENMASK() was introduced to increase code robustness:
1) to make sure the bits mentioned are correct
2) to check the bit boundary.

If the device property API was not yet available for this fix being
backported to the old enough kernel we have to use old OF stuff. In
that case the device property conversion needs to be done in a
separate change.
