So this is a two-bit field in a register with three defined states - I'm
not sure that using BIT() here is really a good idea.  BIT() is fine for
single-bit controls, but I think it adds an additional level of confusion
for multi-bit controls.

Also, the combination of the mask being defined as hex and the controls
using BIT() is particularly not nice.  I think either use one style or
the other, don't mix them.  So either:

  #define MVPP2_PRS_RI_L2_CAST_MASK              0x600
  #define MVPP2_PRS_RI_L2_UCAST                  0x000
  #define MVPP2_PRS_RI_L2_MCAST                  0x200
  #define MVPP2_PRS_RI_L2_BCAST                  0x400

or:

  #define MVPP2_PRS_RI_L2_CAST_MASK              (BIT(10) | BIT(9))
  #define MVPP2_PRS_RI_L2_UCAST                  0
  #define MVPP2_PRS_RI_L2_MCAST                  BIT(9)
  #define MVPP2_PRS_RI_L2_BCAST                  BIT(10)

It then becomes obvious that the mask and the settings are changing the
same bits.
