We don't have 32-bit bitmaps. Bitmaps are always arrays of unsigned longs. On a
64-bit system this '32-bit bitmap' may be broken due to endianness issues.

I think we have no BIT_MASK32() for a good reason. Natural alignment is
always preferable.

If you want your array to be a true bitmap, ie, all bitmap functions should
work with it correctly, you'd initialize it like this:

static const unsigned long jh7100_reset_asserted[] = {
BITMAP_FROM_U64(BIT_MASK(JH7100_RST_VP6_DRESET) |
BIT_MASK(JH7100_RST_VP6_BRESET) |
BIT_MASK(JH7100_RST_HIFI4_DRESET) |
BIT_MASK(JH7100_RST_HIFI4_BRESET)),
BITMAP_FROM_U64(BIT_MASK(JH7100_RST_E24)),
}

Look at lib/test_bitmap.c for example, and comment to BITMAP_FROM_U64()
for internal details.

On the other hand, if you hardware has tricky requirements for bit
positions, and they should depend on endianness and/or size of
long in a way not compatible with bitmaps, you probably know better
how to handle this. Just don't refer to your structure as a bitmap.
