I did some investigation and it looks like a few other header files in include/uapi also use the BIT() macro:
include/uapi/misc/uacce/uacce.h
include/uapi/linux/psci.h
include/uapi/linux/v4l2-subdev.h
tools/include/uapi/linux/pkt_sched.h

It does look like we end up defining the BIT() macro in our user space app that includes the header file.

So, what is the proper thing to be done?
1) Move the BIT() macro somewhere in include/uapi and include it in the necessary header files
2) Use the _BITUL macro in include/uapi/linux/const.h instead?
3) something else?
