I know, but symmetry is good.
I think there'd be no harm in adding it.
Perhaps adding all the sized variants would be useful.

Something like:

#define BIT_OF_TYPE(type, nr)						\
({									\
	typeof(type) rtn;						\
	BUILD_BUG_ON(__builtin_constant_p(nr) &&			\
		     ((nr) < 0 ||					\
		      (nr) >= sizeof(type) * BITS_PER_BYTE));		\
	rtn = ((type)1) << (nr);					\
	rtn;								\
})

#define BIT_U8(nr)	BIT_OF_TYPE(u8, nr)
#define BIT_U16(nr)	BIT_OF_TYPE(u16, nr)
#define BIT_U32(nr)	BIT_OF_TYPE(u32, nr)
#define BIT_U64(nr)	BIT_OF_TYPE(u64, nr)
