No worries.

Ideally you should use "1U << x" everywhere. If you happen to have a
register with 31st bit signifying something, mayhem would follow. So the

Works for me. Some warnigns are just not useful. I bet quite a few macros
elsewhere in the kernel would trigger this.

I don't mind that. Mauro, any thoughts on this?
