Can't you use local different FIELD_PREP/FIELD_GET macros
with a different name without the BUILD_BUG tests?

i.e.:

#define NFP_FIELD_PREP(_mask, _val)				\
({								\
	((typeof(_mask))(_val) << __bf_shf(_mask)) & (_mask);	\
})

#define NFP_FIELD_GET(_mask, _reg)				\
({								\
	(typeof(_mask))(((_reg) & (_mask)) >> __bf_shf(_mask));	\
})

Then the __always_inline can be removed from
nfp_eth_set_bit_config too.
