Well, the intension of this patch is to make use of already existing 
UFS_BIT() macro.

I am not aware of the history why this macro was created at first place.

Well, it does improve code readability, for me at least, no need for one 
to do a calculation to see which bit it is, as we pass _bit_ number to 
UFS_BIT.

I am totally okay, if you or other reviewers suggests me to change 
UFS_BIT to actual bit position, something like the original case, which 
this patch is trying to change.
