[PATCH 01/12] checkpatch: Add GENMASK tests

From: Joe Perches
Date: Wed Jul 10 2019 - 01:04:55 EST


This macro is easy to misuse as it's odd argument order.

If specified with simple decimal values, make sure the arguments are
ordered high then low.

Also check if any argument is > 32 where instead of GENMASK,
GENMASK_ULL should be used.
