The BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG() check against "~0ull" works only with "unsigned
(long) long" _mask types. For constant masks, that condition is usually
met, as GENMASK() yields an UL value. The few places where the
constant mask is stored in an intermediate variable were fixed by
changing the variable type to u64 (see e.g. [1] and [2]).
However, for non-constant masks, smaller unsigned types should be valid,
too, but currently lead to "result of comparison of constant
18446744073709551615 with expression of type ... is always
false"-warnings with clang and W=1.
Hence refactor the __BF_FIELD_CHECK() helper, and factor out
__FIELD_{GET,PREP}(). The later lack the single problematic check, but
are otherwise identical to FIELD_{GET,PREP}(), and are intended to be
used in the fully non-const variants later.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
