Something odd happened here as this is only a small proportion of the cases
that should be updated in this file.  There's one at the bottom of the
patch for starters!

This driver also uses  a lot of cases of 0 shifted to represent
the opposite state for a given bit in the register.  The effective
documentation provided by that is lost if we convert the bit set ones
over like this.  Might seem odd, but perhaps we need a ZERO(X) macro
as well (which is of course always 0) to cover that approach.
