Just to clarify, because of the location you've put your x, which is not
the variable in the above case.
These definitions are possible field values with a shift (enum << y),
not bit values (1 << x)
They can of course be unsigned though.
Is your statement that you would like to see these as:
#define MAX9286_FSYNCMODE_ECU (3U << 6)
#define MAX9286_FSYNCMODE_EXT (2U << 6)
#define MAX9286_FSYNCMODE_INT_OUT (1U << 6)
#define MAX9286_FSYNCMODE_INT_HIZ (0U << 6)
Or that you would prefer a macro'ised version:
#define FIELD_ENTRY(value, shift) (value U << shift)
Or rather, I could just convert them all to use FIELD_PREP:
#define MAX9286_FSYNCMODE GENMASK(7,6)
#define MAX9286_FSYNCMODE_ECU FIELD_PREP(MAX9286_FSYNCMODE, 3)
#define MAX9286_FSYNCMODE_EXT FIELD_PREP(MAX9286_FSYNCMODE, 2)
#define MAX9286_FSYNCMODE_INT_OUT FIELD_PREP(MAX9286_FSYNCMODE, 1)
#define MAX9286_FSYNCMODE_INT_HIZ FIELD_PREP(MAX9286_FSYNCMODE, 0)
If you want me to change these entries, I suspect moving wholly to use
FIELD_PREP/FIELD_GET throughout the driver would be the best course of
action.
A bit of churn, but I can do that if you wish.

I think we'll just leave this one ;-)

And I'll let Mauro decide that as it will impact my line-length choices
in the future ;-)
