I think a better fix would be to make CONST_MASK() return a u8 value rather than have to cast on every use.
Or assign to a local variable - then it doesn't matter how the value is actually calculated. So: u8 mask = CONST_MASK(nr);
Another case with negation won't work like this I believe. So, I thin kthe patch we have is good enough, no need to seek for an evil.
