On second thought, I disagree with the naming scheme of the
GSWIP_TABLE_MAC_BRIDGE_* macros. It is completely non obvious that they
are non-overlapping, because they have the same name prefix, but:
_STATIC applies to gswip_pce_table_entry :: val[1]
_PORT applies to gswip_pce_table_entry :: val[0]
_FID applies to gswip_pce_table_entry :: key[3]

I think it's all too easy to use the wrong macro on the wrong register field.
If the macros incorporated names like VAL1, KEY3 etc, it would be much
more obvious. Could you please do that?
