Subject: [PATCH v5 11/23] bitfield: Add non-constant field_{prep,get}() helpers
The existing FIELD_{GET,PREP}() macros are limited to compile-time
constants. However, it is very common to prepare or extract bitfield
elements where the bitfield mask is not a compile-time constant.
To avoid this limitation, the AT91 clock driver and several other
drivers already have their own non-const field_{prep,get}() macros.
Make them available for general use by adding them to
<linux/bitfield.h>, and improve them slightly:
1. Avoid evaluating macro parameters more than once,
2. Replace "ffs() - 1" by "__ffs()",
3. Support 64-bit use on 32-bit architectures,
4. Wire field_{get,prep}() to FIELD_{GET,PREP}() when mask is
actually constant.
This is deliberately not merged into the existing FIELD_{GET,PREP}()
macros, as people expressed the desire to keep stricter variants for
increased safety, or for performance critical paths.

v5:
- Add Acked-by,
- Split off changes outside <linux/bitfield.h>,
- Document that mask must be non-zero,
- Document typical usage pattern,
- Recommend using FIELD_{PREP,GET}() directly to ensure compile-time
constant masks,
- Check BITS_PER_TYPE(mask) instead of sizeof(mask),
- Wire field_{get,prep}() to FIELD_{GET,PREP}() when mask is
constant, to improve type checking.
v4:
- Add Acked-by,
- Rebase on top of commit 7c68005a46108ffa ("crypto: qat - relocate
power management debugfs helper APIs") in v6.17-rc1,
- Convert more recently introduced upstream copies:
- drivers/edac/ie31200_edac.c
- drivers/iio/dac/ad3530r.c
v3:
- Add Acked-by,
- Drop underscores from macro parameters,
- Use __auto_type where possible,
- Correctly cast reg to the mask type,
- Introduces __val and __reg intermediates to simplify the actual
operation,
- Drop unneeded parentheses,
- Clarify having both FIELD_{GET,PREP}() and field_{get,prep}(),
v2:
- Cast val resp. reg to the mask type,
- Fix 64-bit use on 32-bit architectures,
- Convert new upstream users:
- drivers/crypto/intel/qat/qat_common/adf_gen4_pm_debugfs.c
- drivers/gpio/gpio-aspeed.c
- drivers/iio/temperature/mlx90614.c
- drivers/pinctrl/nuvoton/pinctrl-ma35.c
- sound/usb/mixer_quirks.c
- Convert new user queued in renesas-devel for v6.15:
- drivers/soc/renesas/rz-sysc.c
