I look at this patch, it said that "
This does not happen in other places that just pass a constant here.
"
That's indeed true, no such warning before using FIELD_PREP() due to
the masks are always constant.
So seems that it can fix the waring if avoid using a temporary variable
@mask_ in mtk_phy_update_field() macro.
