Allow me to remove irrelevant parts.

I attempted to follow your advice and use FIELD_GET() and FIELD_PREP(), 
but found
it impractical. The reason is that these two macros require their 'mask' 
argument
to be a constant, otherwise compilation errors occur, which is the issue 
I encountered.
Since the mask here is calculated and not a constant, compilation errors 
occur.

Taking MA35_GP_REG_MODE as an example, within 32 bits, every 2 bits 
represent
the mode of a GPIO pin, and the mask is obtained by GENMASK(gpio * 2 -1, 
gpio * 2),
where the 'gpio' argument is a variable, not a constant, leading to 
compilation
errors.

Due to this reason, I will leave this part unchanged, or do you have any 
other suggestions?

Best Regards,
Jacky Huang
