SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 5/5] linux/const.h: move BIT(_ULL) to linux/const.h for use in assembly
Hi Andrew,

> Commit 2fc016c5bd8a ("linux/const.h: Add _BITUL() and _BITULL()")
> introduced _BITUL() and _BITULL(). Its git-log says the difference
> from the already existing BIT() are:
>
> 1. The namespace is such that they can be used in uapi definitions.
> 2. The type is set with the _AC() macro to allow it to be used in
> assembly.
> 3. The type is explicitly specified to be UL or ULL.

> However, I found _BITUL() is mostly used in kernel-space since it is
> handy to share headers between C and assembly. If we only need '2.',
> we can improve the existing BIT() for use in assembly, allowing us to

This patch conflicts with the one from Will Deacon.
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10242531/)

I think his patch is better than mine.

So, could you drop this one from your tree, please?
(only this one from the series.)

Thanks
