I included <linux/minmax.h> in arch/m68k/include/asm/bitops.h (to use the min()
macro), but received the following error:

fs/bcachefs/eytzinger.c: In function ‘do_swap’:
fs/bcachefs/eytzinger.c:128:69: error: macro "swap" passed 3 arguments, but takes just 2

I thought about using #undef swap, but renaming it seemed to be the least
disruptive change. Maybe there's a better solution?

Thanks,
