OK. I will restore the comment in v6, but will move it to the #else
branch, like this:

  #else /* defined(__ASSEMBLY__) */

  /*
   * BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO is not available in h files included from asm
   * files, so no input checks in assembly.
   */
  #define GENMASK(h, l)		__GENMASK(h, l)
  #define GENMASK_ULL(h, l)	__GENMASK_ULL(h, l)

  #endif /* !defined(__ASSEMBLY__) */
