Sounds good.

Do you mean for the shift or for the mask?

It needs to be exported so that it can be used in the bma400_i2c module and the
future bma400_spi module. In theory, if we _really_ do not want to export this,
then we can define separate regmap configs in each of the bma400_i2c and
(future) bma400_spi modules, but then we would have to export the is_volitile_reg
and is_writable_reg functions. As a result, I do not see any benefits to that
method over exporting the config, but I could be convinced otherwise.

It is too long if I simplify to one line.

It would be more obvious what is being done here with is_power_of_two. I'll
revisit this function with your suggestions. If I can make it simpler, I'll
go this route.

I guess I think like Yoda :) I can update this. I typically do prefer
new_mask | old_mask, but I do not feel too strongly about it.

Yes. Good catch. Not sure what I was thinking :)

So I assume ret <= 0
