[PATCH v4 0/5] Add FIELD_MODIFY() helper

[Luo Jie <quic_luoj@quicinc.com>]

Add the helper FIELD_MODIFY() to the FIELD_XXX family of bitfield
macros. It is functionally similar as xxx_replace_bits(), but adds
the compile time checking to catch incorrect parameter type errors.

This series also converts the four instances of opencoded FIELD_MODIFY()
that are found in the core kernel files, to instead use the new
FIELD_MODIFY() macro. This is achieved with Coccinelle, by adding
the script field_modify.cocci.

The changes are validated on IPQ9574 SoC which uses ARM64 architecture.
