Anything is fine by me, I have no strong opinion on this and rather
leave it up to the maintainers.  However, FIELD_PREP gives us concise
`#define`s through a single `GENMASK()` carrying both the shift and
mask/field-width.
At the same time these genmask definitions map more clearly to the
layout comment right above:

	/*
	 * For DSC sink programming the RC Range parameter fields
	 * are as follows: Min_qp[15:11], max_qp[10:6], offset[5:0]
	 */

If switching to `data |=` however, I've been recommended to not use
FIELD_PREP but fulyl write out `data |= (value & MASK) << SHIFT`
instead.

Perhaps a more important question is how to apply this consistently
throughout the function?
