Maciej should first send a patch to x86-cpuid-db.¹ Then the header
generated by the tool can be submitted on top of tip:x86/cpu.

This is for example how it was done in the merged commits:

  49394b5af45c tools/x86/kcpuid: Update bitfields to x86-cpuid-db v2.4
  300ba891418a tools/x86/kcpuid: Update bitfields to x86-cpuid-db v2.3
  5e0c3c5e95f0 tools/x86/kcpuid: Update bitfields to x86-cpuid-db v2.2
  ...

One component of this work is that you and the other x86 maintainers will
enforce that "auto generated header" rule; unless something really urgent
pops up and common sense applies.

But a single, yet unused, bitfield spelling mistak is not that urgent to
warrant breaking the rule from the get go.
