Subject: [PATCH] bitops: move BITS() macro to the bitops file
This macro was invented by Mattias Nilsson for the usecase
where you want to set a sequence of bits inside a n-bit
word, while leaving the head and tail of the sequence all
zeroes. For example:
#include <linux/bitops.h>
u16 mask = BITS(4, 12);
Yields a mask like this:
0001111111110000
This patch moves the construct out of the MFD PRCMU driver
and make it available for common use, after noticing in a
review or two that it would be useful for others.
