True... But is it better?

if (priv->pclk_polarity_rising)
	ret = regmap_set_bits(priv->regmap, UB913_REG_GENERAL_CFG,
			      UB913_REG_GENERAL_CFG_PCLK_RISING);
else
	ret = regmap_clear_bits(priv->regmap, UB913_REG_GENERAL_CFG,
				UB913_REG_GENERAL_CFG_PCLK_RISING);

The call itself is more readable there, but then again, as we're setting 
the value of a bit, I dislike having if/else with two calls for a single 
assignment.

Using FIELD_PREP is perhaps a bit better than the ternary:

ret = ub913_update_bits(priv, UB913_REG_GENERAL_CFG,
			UB913_REG_GENERAL_CFG_PCLK_RISING,
			FIELD_PREP(UB913_REG_GENERAL_CFG_PCLK_RISING,
				   priv->pclk_polarity_rising));

I think I'd like best a function to set/clear a bitmask with a boolean:

ret = regmap_toggle_bits(priv->regmap, UB913_REG_GENERAL_CFG,
			 UB913_REG_GENERAL_CFG_PCLK_RISING,
			 priv->pclk_polarity_rising);

For now, I think I'll go with the FIELD_PREP() version. It's perhaps a 
bit better than the ternary.
