I'd rule out #undef'ing other macros. That just looks like a hack.

There's at least one other option: de-obfuscate your code by directly
using macros instead of concatenating LUT_ to save a few characters. So:

#define LUT0(ins, pad, opr) \
(((opr) << OPRND0_SHIFT) | ((pad) << PAD0_SHIFT) | \
((ins) << INSTR0_SHIFT))

and for example:

writel(LUT0(LUT_WRITE, LUT_PAD1, 0), base + QUADSPI_LUT(lut_base + 1));

I'd take either that option, or renaming your LUT_READ and LUT_WRITE to
LUT_FSL_READ and LUT_FSL_WRITE (not LUT_FSLREAD and LUT_FSLWRITE).
