BIT(x) macro used all over the driver is defined in include/vsdo/bit.h as - #define BIT(nr) (UL(1) << (nr)) which is safer than the local BIT macros declared. Local macros shift a signed integer which brings unespected results. For example: (unsigned long)(1 << 31) => 0xffffffff80000000 shift.c: int main() { printf("%lx\n", (unsigned long)(1 << 31)); printf("%lx\n", (unsigned long)(1U << 31)); return 0; } --- $ ./shift ffffffff80000000 80000000 --- So just remove redundant, less safe macro declarations.
