So we've been in this code before. I'm having vague memories of
commit 444da3f52407 ("bitfield.h: don't compile-time validate _val in
FIELD_FIT")

But looking at the first __builtin_constant_p check in
__BF_FIELD_CHECK, I'm curious if that might need to be __is_constexpr
rather than __builtin_constant_p; a change like
commit 4d45bc82df66 ("coresight: etm4x: avoid build failure with
unrolled loops")

__builtin_constant_p is evaluated after most optimizations have run;
__is_constexpr must be evaluated by compiler front ends during
semantic analysis.

But reading through the full lore thread, it sounds like Jani has
another suggestion to try instead.

Please re-cc us and our list if that doesn't work out.
