Coverity reported shift 16 bits could cause sign extension and might get
an unexpected value. Since the input values are predefined and no this
kind of case, original code is safe so far. But, still changing them to
use u32_encode_bits() will be more clear and prevent mistakes in the
future.
The original message of Coverity is:
Suspicious implicit sign extension: "max_cfg->cma0_dma" with type "u16"
(16 bits, unsigned) is promoted in "max_cfg->cma0_dma << 16" to type
"int" (32 bits, signed), then sign-extended to type "unsigned long"
(64 bits, unsigned). If "max_cfg->cma0_dma << 16" is greater than
0x7FFFFFFF, the upper bits of the result will all be 1."

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.
