Whilst I agree that using GENMASK is better, this patch does mean that the
driver is (more) inconsistent with its _MASK terminology in that you can't
generally tell whether a definition that ends in _MASK is shifted or not,
and this isn't even consistent for fields within the same register.
Should we be using GENMASK/BIT for all fields instead and removing all of
the _SHIFT definitions?
