Subject: [PATCH v2 01/20] bitmap: introduce hardware-specific bitfield
 operations

Hardware of various vendors, but very notably Rockchip, often uses
32-bit registers where the upper 16-bit half of the register is a
write-enable mask for the lower half.

This type of hardware setup allows for more granular concurrent register
write access.

Over the years, many drivers have hand-rolled their own version of this
macro, usually without any checks, often called something like
HIWORD_UPDATE or FIELD_PREP_HIWORD, commonly with slightly different
semantics between them.

Clearly there is a demand for such a macro, and thus the demand should
be satisfied in a common header file. As this is a convention that spans
across multiple vendors, and similar conventions may also have
cross-vendor adoption, it's best if it lives in a vendor-agnostic header
file that can be expanded over time.

Add hw_bitfield.h with two macros: FIELD_PREP_WM16, and
FIELD_PREP_WM16_CONST. The latter is a version that can be used in
initializers, like FIELD_PREP_CONST.
