That should've been
   flags = SIGNED_FW_IMAGE | SOMETHING_ELSE;

>>

and this
    if (flags & SIGNED_FW_IMAGE)

.. I have no idea why I added a nested BIT(BIT()) in there, something in
my brain started ticking sideways, lol.

Of course the definitions should be put in a "common header" for that to
actually work in your described situation, but it's not a big deal.

Mine wasn't a strong opinion: that does actually matter in case you expect
more quirks (or something that is not a quirk, but a functional flag instead)
to eventually get there... but otherwise, it's actually the same.

It's your choice in the end, I'm fine with both anyway :-)

Cheers,
Angelo
