Hi Ming,

thanks for your patch!

What about doing what you do in the GPIO driver and
#include <linux/bits.h>

And search and replace "(1 << irq)" with BIT(irq)?

PS the main reason we do this is because

int a = (1 << 31);

becomes a negative number on 32bit machines, and
can lead to confusing side effects. BIT() always work
on unsigned.
