You are right, It does not make sense to use BIT() macro for field which
has more than 1 bit. I think using mix of both BIT() and the old style
will make code look bit confusing to reader, Also no other mach code in
the kernel use BIT while configuring L2 controller. So am going to drop
the idea of using BIT here and leave the code as it is.
