Seems like you wanted this to be a kernel doc, but it isn't right now.

In such case this should start with a name of the macro

I dunno if GCC expression limits the scope of goto labels, but on the safe side
you can add a prefix to it, so it becomes:

FIND_NEXT_BIT_out:

(or alike).

Usually we don't split parameters between lines.

...

Ditto.
