It's probably better to use const __u32 * here too, but the
real thing I wonder is whether or not there's an issue with
one of the 2 uses of this function.

One of them passes a unsigned long *, the other a u32 *.

$ git grep -w hci_test_bit
net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c:static inline int hci_test_bit(int nr, void *addr)
net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c:       if (!hci_test_bit(flt_event, &flt->event_mask))
net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c:                    !hci_test_bit(ocf & HCI_FLT_OCF_BITS,
net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c-                                  &hci_sec_filter.ocf_mask[ogf])) &&

hci_sec_filter.ocf_mask is __u32
but flt->event_mask is unsigned long.

Any possible issue here on 64-bit systems?
