Generalize __GENMASK() to support different types, and implement
fixed-types versions of GENMASK() based on it. The fixed-type version
allows more strict checks to the min/max values accepted, which is
useful for defining registers like implemented by i915 and xe drivers
with their REG_GENMASK*() macros.

Mmh, the commit message says the fixed-type version allows more strict
checks, but none are actually added. GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK() remains the
same.

Compared to the i915 and xe versions, this is more lax now. You could
specify GENMASK_U32(63,32) without complaints.

Doing this on top of the this series:

-#define XELPDP_PORT_M2P_COMMAND_TYPE_MASK REG_GENMASK(30, 27)
+#define XELPDP_PORT_M2P_COMMAND_TYPE_MASK REG_GENMASK(62, 32)

and I do get a build failure:

./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_cx0_phy.c: In function ‘__intel_cx0_read_once’:
./include/linux/bits.h:41:31: error: left shift count >= width of type [-Werror=shift-count-overflow]
41 | (((t)~0ULL - ((t)(1) << (l)) + 1) & \
| ^~


I also tested them individually. All of these fail to build for me:

1)
-#define XELPDP_PORT_M2P_COMMAND_TYPE_MASK REG_GENMASK(30, 27)
+#define XELPDP_PORT_M2P_COMMAND_TYPE_MASK REG_GENMASK(32, 27)

2)
-#define XELPDP_PORT_M2P_COMMAND_TYPE_MASK REG_GENMASK(30, 27)
+#define XELPDP_PORT_M2P_COMMAND_TYPE_MASK REG_GENMASK(30, 31)

3)
-#define XELPDP_PORT_M2P_COMMAND_TYPE_MASK REG_GENMASK(30, 27)
+#define XELPDP_PORT_M2P_COMMAND_TYPE_MASK REG_GENMASK(30, -1)
