I looked at the code how you use these... Oh, please switch to FIELD_GET() /
FIELD_PREP() (don't forget to include bitfield.h)

This will generate an awful code. Use respective FIELD_*() macros.

Ditto.

...

+ regval &= GENMASK(gpio * MA35_GP_MODE_MASK_WIDTH - 1,
+ gpio * MA35_GP_MODE_MASK_WIDTH);

+ return regval >> gpio * MA35_GP_MODE_MASK_WIDTH;
Ditto.

Allow me to remove irrelevant parts.

I attempted to follow your advice and use FIELD_GET() and FIELD_PREP(),
but found
it impractical. The reason is that these two macros require their 'mask'
argument
to be a constant, otherwise compilation errors occur, which is the issue
I encountered.
Since the mask here is calculated and not a constant, compilation errors
occur.

Taking MA35_GP_REG_MODE as an example, within 32 bits, every 2 bits
represent
the mode of a GPIO pin, and the mask is obtained by GENMASK(gpio * 2 -1,
gpio * 2),
This is not good for the compiler, it can't figure out (at least in
some _supported_ by Linux kernel versions on some architectures) that
GENMASK can be constant here just left-shifted by arbitrary bits.

where the 'gpio' argument is a variable, not a constant, leading to
compilation
errors.

Due to this reason, I will leave this part unchanged, or do you have any
other suggestions?
If you need non-constant field_get()/field_prep(), add a new patch
that moves them from drivers/iio/temperature/mlx90614.c (and there are
more custom implementations:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/A/ident/field_get) to the
bitfield.h and use them in your code.


Thank you. It works for me. I will adopt the approach used in mlx90614.c.
