I agree, I didn't used that to be consistent with what was already done
in the driver.

Shouldn't MV_PCS_PAIRSWAP_AB also be defined using BIT()?

More generally, we could have all the register definitions using the 0x
values, the masks using GENMASK() and the values using a combination of
BIT() and (0x... << y). That would match what's usually done in other
drivers and improve the readability. (But I also recall being told not
to use GENMASK in net/, so it's up to you to decide).

I can send a following up patch if needed and if we agree on this.

Antoine
