Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: remove unused BIT macros definitions
Date:   Fri, 30 Jul 2021 15:21:03 +0200

BIT(x) macro used all over the driver is defined in
include/vsdo/bit.h as

- #define BIT(nr)	(UL(1) << (nr))

which is safer than the local BIT macros declared.
Local macros shift a signed integer which brings
unespected results. For example:

(unsigned long)(1 << 31) => 0xffffffff80000000

shift.c:

int main() {
        printf("%lx\n", (unsigned long)(1 << 31));
        printf("%lx\n", (unsigned long)(1U << 31));
        return 0;
}
---

$ ./shift
ffffffff80000000
80000000
---

So just remove redundant, less safe macro declarations.
