Is this some sort of false positive?  The shift in question is

	devinfo->target_mask = (0x01 << devinfo->target_offset);

The code which calls this in ahc_linux_initialize_scsi_bus() looks to
be looping from 0-16 (or variations).  Since the value passed in is
unsigned, it would have to be set to ~0, which doesn't seem possible.
