Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] wifi: rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: phy: fix an undefined bitwise shift behavior

Clang staic checker warning:
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8821ae/phy.c:184:49:
The result of the left shift is undefined due to shifting by '32',
which is greater or equal to the width of type 'u32'.
[core.UndefinedBinaryOperatorResult]

If the value of the right operand is negative or is greater than or
equal to the width of the promoted left operand, the behavior is
undefined.[1][2]

For example, when using different gcc's compilation optimizaation options
(-O0 or -O2), the result of '(u32)data << 32' is different. One is 0, the
other is old value of data. Let _rtl8821ae_phy_calculate_bit_shift()'s
return value less than 32 to fix this problem. Warn if bitmask is zero.

v2:
- fix the subject prefix problem
- silence the warning by not return 32 bits rather than adding a type cast.(Thanks to Dan and Ping-Ke)

By the way, there some similar problems in
_rtl88e_phy_calculate_bit_shift(), _rtl92c_phy_calculate_bit_shift() and
so on...

Personally, I prefer to use __ffs(), because in normal case no need additional '-1',
and abnormal cases should not happen.

Hi,  Ping-Ke

Replace _rtl8821ae_phy_calculate_bit_shift() by __ffs(bitmask) is better,
but I'm not sure what callers should do when callers check bitmask is 0 before calling.
Maybe this check is useless?

I can send a v3 patch if using __ffs(bitmask) and no check for bitmask is fine.
Or could you send this patch if you have a better idea?
Thanks for your suggestion!

Can this work to you?

static u32 _rtl8821ae_phy_calculate_bit_shift(u32 bitmask)
{
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!bitmask))
return 0;

return __ffs(bitmask);
}

Looks good to me, briefer and better!
I will send v3 soon.
