The main reason of this change is to make these bitmasks more readable.
The macro ASM_CONST() just appends an UL to it's parameter, so it can be
easily replaced by BIT_MASK, that already uses a UL representation.
ASM_CONST() in this file may behave different if __ASSEMBLY__ is defined,
as it is used on .S files, just leaving the parameter as is.
However, I have noticed no difference in the generated binary after this
change.

Thanks for the patch, but I don't consider this an improvement in
readability.
At boot we print the firmware features, eg:
firmware_features = 0x00000001c45ffc5f
And it's much easier to match that up to the full constants, than to the
bit numbers.
Similarly in memory or register dumps.
What we could do is switch to the `UL` macro from include/linux/const.h,
rather than using our own ASM_CONST.
cheers

You need gas 2.28 or later for that though.

What is the minimum required (for powerpc) now?

Yeah one day we'll be able to drop them entirely, but not yet.
The official minimum is 2.20:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/changes.html
But my "old" toolchain is binutils 2.22, so that's effectively the
