Please use GENMASK() macro to define this.

Here too. And I do not see the point of the "NEW" in the macro name.

Also, what is "_VEND_" supposed to mean in the macro names ? "Vendor" ?
If that is the case, remove that too, which will give you shorter macro names.
If not, then spell it out because that is not clear.
