Arnd Bergmann ed031128c2 include/linux/bitrev.h: fix constant bitrev
commit 6147e136ff5071609b54f18982dea87706288e21 upstream.

clang points out with hundreds of warnings that the bitrev macros have a
problem with constant input:

  drivers/hwmon/sht15.c:187:11: error: variable '__x' is uninitialized when used within its own initialization
        [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
          u8 crc = bitrev8(data->val_status & 0x0F);
                   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  include/linux/bitrev.h:102:21: note: expanded from macro 'bitrev8'
          __constant_bitrev8(__x) :                       \
          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~
  include/linux/bitrev.h:67:11: note: expanded from macro '__constant_bitrev8'
          u8 __x = x;                     \
             ~~~   ^

Both the bitrev and the __constant_bitrev macros use an internal
variable named __x, which goes horribly wrong when passing one to the
other.

The obvious fix is to rename one of the variables, so this adds an extra
'_'.

It seems we got away with this because

 - there are only a few drivers using bitrev macros

 - usually there are no constant arguments to those

 - when they are constant, they tend to be either 0 or (unsigned)-1
   (drivers/isdn/i4l/isdnhdlc.o, drivers/iio/amplifiers/ad8366.c) and
   give the correct result by pure chance.

In fact, the only driver that I could find that gets different results
with this is drivers/net/wan/slic_ds26522.c, which in turn is a driver
for fairly rare hardware (adding the maintainer to Cc for testing).

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
