add basic register-field manipulation macros

Common approach to accessing register fields is to define
structures or sets of macros containing mask and shift pair.
Operations on the register are then performed as follows:

 field = (reg >> shift) & mask;

 reg &= ~(mask << shift);
 reg |= (field & mask) << shift;

Defining shift and mask separately is tedious.  Ivo van Doorn
came up with an idea of computing them at compilation time
based on a single shifted mask (later refined by Felix) which
can be used like this:

 #define REG_FIELD 0x000ff000

 field = FIELD_GET(REG_FIELD, reg);

 reg &= ~REG_FIELD;
 reg |= FIELD_PREP(REG_FIELD, field);

FIELD_{GET,PREP} macros take care of finding out what the
appropriate shift is based on compilation time ffs operation.

GENMASK can be used to define registers (which is usually
less error-prone and easier to match with datasheets).

This approach is the most convenient I've seen so to limit code
multiplication let's move the macros to a global header file.
Attempts to use static inlines instead of macros failed due
to false positive triggering of BUILD_BUG_ON()s, especially with
GCC < 6.0.
