Each entry in the clock table specifies a number of individual bits in registers, for contolling clock reset, gaiting, etc. These reg/bit were packed into a u16 to save space. The combined value is difficult to understand when reviewing the clock table entries. Introduce a "struct regbit" which still occupies only 16 bits, but allows the register and bit values to be specified explicitly. Convert all previous uses of u16 for reg/bit into "struct regbit". The bulk of this patch converts the clock table to use struct regbit, making use of the RB() helper macro. The conversion was automated by script, and as a further verification, the compiled binary of the table was compared before/after the change (with objdump -D). The clk_rdesc_set() function now checks for zero reg/bit internally. This allows callers of that function to remove those checks.

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.
