The purpose of the statements is to update values excluding bits of
B_AX_RX_MPDU_MAX_LEN_MASK. The use of B_AX_RX_FLTR_CFG_MASK is tricky, but
the operation is correct because bit 0 is set, so __ffs(mask) returns 0 in
rtw89_write32_mask(). Then, operation looks like

   orig = read(reg);
   new = (orig & ~mask) | (data & mask);
   write(new);

Since we don't use FIELD_{GET,PREP} macros with B_AX_RX_FLTR_CFG_MASK, how
can you find the problem? Please guide us. Thanks.
