This is not good for the compiler, it can't figure out (at least in
some _supported_ by Linux kernel versions on some architectures) that
GENMASK can be constant here just left-shifted by arbitrary bits.

If you need non-constant field_get()/field_prep(), add a new patch
that moves them from drivers/iio/temperature/mlx90614.c (and there are
more custom implementations:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/A/ident/field_get) to the
bitfield.h and use them in your code.
