Will reported the bitfields were inconsistent (see [1]). Looking in more 
details, it seems that I messed up this patch when sending it (I honestly can't 
remember why I wrote like that :().

@Catalin, I saw you applied this patch to for-next/elf-hwcap-docs. Would you
mind to update the content of the patch? Or do you prefer a new version?
