+Subject: [PATCH] add basic register-field manipulation macros
+
+Common approach to accessing register fields is to define
+structures or sets of macros containing mask and shift pair.
+Operations on the register are then performed as follows:
+
+ field = (reg >> shift) & mask;
+
+ reg &= ~(mask << shift);
+ reg |= (field & mask) << shift;
+
+Defining shift and mask separately is tedious. Ivo van Doorn
+came up with an idea of computing them at compilation time
+based on a single shifted mask (later refined by Felix) which
+can be used like this:
+
+ #define REG_FIELD 0x000ff000
+
+ field = FIELD_GET(REG_FIELD, reg);
+
+ reg &= ~REG_FIELD;
+ reg |= FIELD_PREP(REG_FIELD, field);
+
+FIELD_{GET,PREP} macros take care of finding out what the
+appropriate shift is based on compilation time ffs operation.
+
+GENMASK can be used to define registers (which is usually
+less error-prone and easier to match with datasheets).
+
+This approach is the most convenient I've seen so to limit code
+multiplication let's move the macros to a global header file.
+Attempts to use static inlines instead of macros failed due
+to false positive triggering of BUILD_BUG_ON()s, especially with
+GCC < 6.0.
