Hardware of various vendors, but very notably Rockchip, often uses 32-bit registers where the upper 16-bit half of the register is a write-enable mask for the lower half. This type of hardware setup allows for more granular concurrent register write access. Over the years, many drivers have hand-rolled their own version of this macro, usually without any checks, often called something like HIWORD_UPDATE or FIELD_PREP_HIWORD, commonly with slightly different semantics between them. Clearly there is a demand for such a macro, and thus the demand should be satisfied in a common header file. As this is a convention that spans across multiple vendors, and similar conventions may also have cross-vendor adoption, it's best if it lives in a vendor-agnostic header file that can be expanded over time. Add hw_bitfield.h with two macros: FIELD_PREP_WM16, and FIELD_PREP_WM16_CONST. The latter is a version that can be used in initializers, like FIELD_PREP_CONST.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
