Shifts like this is a little scary. "1" constant is signed. So, if
log2_max_luma_coding_block_size is 31, the above logic has undefined
behavior. Different archs and C compilers may handle it on different
ways.

Same applies here and on other similar macros. You need to enforce
(a) to be unsigned, as otherwise the behavior is undefined.

Btw, this is a recurrent pattern on this file. I would define a
macro, e. g. something like:

	#define MASK_BITS_AND_SHIFT(v, high, low) \
		((UL(v) << low) & GENMASK(high, low))

And use it for all similar patterns here.

The best would be to include such macro at linux/bits.h, although some
upstream discussion is required.

So, for now, let's add it at this header file, but work upstream
to have it merged there.


Thanks,
