Hm.  The build bot failure made me think.  I think rcar-gen3-cpg.c may
be doing something wrong here, could you point me at the patch in
question?  I don't see any FIELD_* there in Linus's tree.

__bf_shf() is supposed to be used with constant masks only, therefore
the call must be optimized away completely.
