The driver uses two TIOCMBIT macros inside pl011_{get,set}_mctrl to
simplify the logic. Those look scary to checkpatch because they contain
ifs without do-while loops.
Avoid the macros by creating small equivalent static functions; that
lets the compiler do its type checking & avoids checkpatch errors.
For the second instance __assign_bit is not usable because it deals with
unsigned long pointers whereas we have an unsigned int in
pl011_set_mctrl.
This addresses the following checkpatch warnings:
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict --file \
drivers/tty/serial/amba-pl011.c
ERROR: Macros starting with if should be enclosed by a do -
while loop to avoid possible if/else logic defects
CHECK: Macro argument 'uartbit' may be better as '(uartbit)' to
avoid precedence issues
ERROR: Macros starting with if should be enclosed by a do - while

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
