comedi.h is intended to be moved to uapi/linux/comedi.h, and the BIT(n)
macro cannot be used there. On the other hand, writing `(1U << 15)`
encourages people to submit patches to change it back to `BIT(15)`. So a
`0x8000u` works well here.
So, out of curiosity, will this mean that the userland comedilib library
might in the future be able to directly reference the kernel version of
comedi.h instead of us needing the keep these in sync manually?
That would mean that comedilib and comedi applications could only be
built if the kernel headers include linux/comedi.h, so probably not.
