It's even worse :-)
The real bug was introduced 10 years ago, in kernel 3.11.
Commit 4df87bb7b6a22 ("lib: add weak clz/ctz functions") added __clzsi2()
and __clzdi2() which operate on 32-bit parameters instead of 64-bit
parameters (64-bit kernel is OK, just 32-bit kernels are affected!).
This patch in my for-next tree fixes it:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=c8daddb96ddc4cc95b19944ef5dfa831d317fb4b
I'll send the final patch to the mailing list if the tests via for-next seems ok.
>> Given there is some risk of breaking existing parsers, is it worth fixing this?
The parsers are not the problem, but Yes, we will have to fix it.
The patch will not affect 64-bit kernels.
But for 32-bit kernels we will need that patch to get __clzdi2() return the correct
values, otherwise there might be other upcoming issues.

To sum up:
It was a bug in the in-kernel __clzdi2() function.
This patch ("lib/clz_ctz.c: Fix __clzdi2() and __ctzdi2() for 32-bit kernels") fixes it:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=382d4cd1847517ffcb1800fd462b625db7b2ebea
