Hi Jason,

If that's the case you can still use BIT(nr) for the definitions and
describe their usage in the comment, so both code readability and the
ease of maintenance are preserved, and people can easily tell if there
are duplicated/missing definitions while reading through the code.
Adding informative comments is never a bad thing.

I would do something like this (and further split the definitions into
sections by their functionalities with blank lines for visual
comfort):

/*
* MT8195_VDO0_SEL_IN[1:0]: VPP_MERGE
* 0x0 : DSC_WRAP0_OUT
* 0x1 : DISP_DITHER1
* 0x10: VDO1_VIRTUAL0
*/
#define MT8195_SEL_IN_VPP_MERGE_FROM_DSC_WRAP0_OUT 0
#define MT8195_SEL_IN_VPP_MERGE_FROM_DISP_DITHER1 BIT(0)
#define MT8195_SEL_IN_VPP_MERGE_FROM_VDO1_VIRTUAL0 BIT(1)

/*
* MT8195_VDO0_SEL_IN[4:4]: DSC_WRAP0_IN
* 0x0: DISP_DITHER0
* 0x1: VPP_MERGE
*/
#define MT8195_SEL_IN_DSC_WRAP0_IN_FROM_DISP_DITHER0 0
#define MT8195_SEL_IN_DSC_WRAP0_IN_FROM_VPP_MERGE BIT(4)
... and so on.

Fei
