Since changes are minor, please make sure that the authorship is kept
untouched.

You can use --cc to `git send-email` instead of polluting the commit message.

With above, I think you can also add Co-developed-by (as the changes were
made).

I remember that this construction may bring horrible code on some architectures
with some version(s) of the compiler (*).

To fix that I found an easy refactoring:

		map[index] &= ~(GENMASK(nbits, 0) << offset));


(*) don't remember the actual versions, though, but anyway...
