From: Andi Kleen ak@linux.intel.com Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2017 14:56:41 -0700 Subject: bitops: Add clear/set_bit32() to linux/bitops.h

From: Andi Kleen ak@linux.intel.com

commit cbe96375025e14fc76f9ed42ee5225120d7210f8 upstream.

Add two simple wrappers around set_bit/clear_bit() that accept the common case of an u32 array. This avoids writing casts in all callers.
