[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/hwmon: Fix a build error used with clang compiler

Hi Ashutosh,

yeah! I am not a clang user, and this must be some ugly error
output. I don't think it makes sense to break it, though.

Because we are not compiling the builtin functions with gcc but
gcc has support for them. The FIELD_PREP checks if the first
parameter is a constant:

	BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(!__builtin_constant_p(_mask),

where _mask was our field_mask, but we ignore it. Apparently
clang doesn't.

If we want to stick to gcc only, then I still think the patch is
correct for two reasons:

  1. it's cleaner
  2. we would get on with the job and if one day we will decide
     to suppport builtin functions in gcc as well, we will sleep
     peacefully :)

maybe llvm folks have a better opinion.

Thanks,
