The code is not necessarily any different on ARMv8 as far as I can tell,
before:

static void brcm_msi_set_regs(struct brcm_msi *msi)
{
        u32 val = __GENMASK(31, msi->legacy_shift);
      84:       b9406402        ldr     w2, [x0,#100]
      88:       d2800021        mov     x1, #0x1
// #1
      8c:       9ac22021        lsl     x1, x1, x2
      90:       4b0103e1        neg     w1, w1


after:

static void brcm_msi_set_regs(struct brcm_msi *msi)
{
        u32 val = ~(BIT(msi->legacy_shift) - 1);
      84:       b9406402        ldr     w2, [x0,#100]
      88:       d2800021        mov     x1, #0x1
// #1
      8c:       9ac22021        lsl     x1, x1, x2
      90:       4b0103e1        neg     w1, w1

and the usage of BIT() does not make this any clearer.

How about this instead:
