[PATCH net-next 4/6] net: qualcomm: rmnet: use field masks instead of C bit-fields

From: Alex Elder
Date: Thu Mar 04 2021 - 17:34:53 EST


The actual layout of bits defined in C bit-fields (e.g. int foo : 3)
is implementation-defined. Structures defined in <linux/if_rmnet.h>
address this by specifying all bit-fields twice, to cover two
possible layouts.

I think this pattern is repetitive and noisy, and I find the whole
notion of compiler "bitfield endianness" to be non-intuitive.

Stop using C bit-fields for the command/data flag and the pad length
fields in the rmnet_map structure. Instead, define a single-byte
flags field, and use the functions defined in <linux/bitfield.h>,
along with field mask constants to extract or assign values within
that field.
