Can you add some vertical spacing here, like between GENMASK and BIT
blocks?

OK then. With the above approach, fixed-type BIT() macros look like wrappers
around the plain BIT(), and I think, we can live with that.
Can you send all the material as a proper series, including my
GENMASK patch, your patch above and a patch that switches your driver
to using the new API? I'll take it then in bitmap-for-next when the
merge window will get closed.
Thanks,
Yury
