Subject: [PATCH v5 1/7] bits: split the definition of the asm and non-asm
 GENMASK()

From: Vincent Mailhol <mailhol.vincent@...adoo.fr>

In an upcoming change, GENMASK() and its friends will indirectly
depend on sizeof() which is not available in asm.

Instead of adding further complexity to __GENMASK() to make it work
for both asm and non asm, just split the definition of the two
variants.

Changelog:

  v4 -> v5:

    - Use tab indentations instead of single space to separate the
      macro name from its body.

  v3 -> v4:

    - New patch in the series
