Passing an enum into FIELD_GET() produces a long but harmless warning on newer compilers:
from include/linux/linkage.h:7, from include/linux/kernel.h:7, from include/linux/skbuff.h:17, from include/linux/if_ether.h:23, from include/linux/etherdevice.h:25, from drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/rxmq.c:63: drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/rxmq.c: In function 'iwl_mvm_rx_mpdu_mq': include/linux/bitfield.h:56:20: error: enum constant in boolean context [-Werror=int-in-bool-context] BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(!(_mask), _pfx "mask is zero"); \ ^ ... include/linux/bitfield.h:103:3: note: in expansion of macro '__BF_FIELD_CHECK' __BF_FIELD_CHECK(_mask, _reg, 0U, "FIELD_GET: "); \ ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/rxmq.c:1025:21: note: in expansion of macro 'FIELD_GET' le16_encode_bits(FIELD_GET(IWL_RX_HE_PHY_SIBG_SYM_OR_USER_NUM_MASK,
The problem here is that the caller has no idea how the macro gets expanding, leading to a false-positive. It can be trivially avoided by doing a comparison against zero.
This only recently started appearing as the iwlwifi driver was patched to use FIELD_GET.
