Okay what about this instead (This is the best I could write :).) ?

+static inline int __next_bit(unsigned int active_bases, int bit)
+{
+ do {
+ if (active_bases & (1 << bit))
+ return bit;
+ } while (++bit < HRTIMER_MAX_CLOCK_BASES);
+
+ /* We should never reach here */
+ return 0;
+}
+/*
+ * for_each_active_base: iterate over all active clock bases
+ * @_bit: 'int' variable for internal purpose
+ * @_base: holds pointer to a active clock base
+ * @_cpu_base: cpu base to iterate on
+ * @_active_bases: 'unsigned int' variable for internal purpose
+ */
+#define for_each_active_base(_bit, _base, _cpu_base, _active_bases) \
+ for ((_active_bases) = (_cpu_base)->active_bases, (_bit) = -1; \
+ (_active_bases) && \
+ ((_bit) = __next_bit(_active_bases, ++_bit), \
+ (_base) = (_cpu_base)->clock_base + _bit); \
+ (_active_bases) &= ~(1 << (_bit)))
+


Tested it well with the help of: http://pastebin.com/cYyB513D, with
inputs from 0 to 15.

I will send it formally if it looks fine to you ..
