Neither of these is possible: first == 0 has been cheked above, and
ffs(icrh & 0xffff) cannot exceed 15.  Likewise, cluster is actually
limited to 16 bits, not 20.

Plus, C is not Pascal so no parentheses. :)

Putting everything together, it can be simplified to this:

+                       int cluster = (icrh & 0xffff0000) >> 16;
+                       int apic = ffs(icrh & 0xffff) - 1;
+
+                       /*
+                        * If the x2APIC logical ID sub-field (i.e. icrh[15:0])

+                        */
+                       if (apic < 0 || icrh != (1 << apic))
+                               return -EINVAL;
+
+                       l1_physical_id = (cluster << 4) + apic;
