Thanks for the patch!

Nathan, do you think anything can be done in FIELD_PREP or even
__BF_FIELD_CHECK using _Static_assert (or static_assert from
include/linux/build_bug.h) to help elucidate to developers that their
mask is too small?  I guess the line 71 of include/linux/bitfield.h
that is trying to warn via BUILD_BUG_ON is itself triggering a
-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare warning that is perhaps
distracting from what the issue is?

If you're able to reproduce the issue locally still, does this seem to work?
