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.
