Dear Aneesh V,

I couldn't find any utility macros/functions for doing something like this.
Please somebody correct me if I am wrong.
I am not aware of such a functionality in the Linux kernel, either.
A quick search did not even show any attempts to introduce such macros to Linux. It appears they don't need such a feature ?
Wolfgang, what's your final take on this. Can I continue to use the utility macros given that I don't have any 'standard' alternative. For register accesses I shall move to setclrbits*() macros that you had suggested. But for bit operations I do not have any alternatives.
best regards, Aneesh
Hi Aneesh,
If it helps, I will email a cleaned up bitfield patch to the list tomorrow. I hoping that it will get a warm reception :-)
Thanks. That's great news at least for me.
best regards, Aneesh
