You're creating a confusing situation here and asking for bugs to be introduced
into the driver.

The existing two enumeration values are "bit masks", but these two new values
are bit numbers and must be used with BIT().

Make them consistent, and I would suggest to make all of them bit masks, thus:

MTK_TX_FLAGS_FPORT1 = 0x04,
MTK_TX_FLAGS_FPORT0 = 0x08,

And then remove the use of BIT() to these values.

Thanks.
