The commit message says nothing that warrants a Fixes tag.

Also, the commit message doesn't tell why you need to do this, that is, it

Please amend.

BIT(4)

(Those other too could be converted to GENMASK() but not in this patch.)

I cannot review this line until you amend the commit message with the
above mentioned details. To be more precise, I'm interested in
understanding if you've precedences right here so your commit message
