Hi,

I cannot knowingly take patches with unclear authorship so please clear
that part first before resubmitting.

That GENMASK() is same as BIT(10), the latter form is preferred.

These we implemented by another developer in the meantime slightly
differently. Please base the refresh of this series on the code I've in
the review-ilpo-next branch (the changes in review-ilpo-next will
propagate into the for-next branch in a few days if LKP build test okays
it).

These seem still useful even after the changes I've already accepted.
