FIELDS32 expands to some monstrosities.  Look for rt2x00_bbp_write in
the dump.  Also behold the amount of parentheses in LOWEST_BIT32.
That's almost certainly the culprit.

I understand the idea is to make gcc calculate integer logarithms at the
compile time.  That's nice, but sparse has to do the same, and it's
probably not optimized for such misuse.
