Right, sometimes, when you need to set 3-4 values on evbit (that is
pretty much guaranteed to fit into one long word) it is shoerted to
write
input->evbit[0] = BIT(EV_A) | BIT(EV_B) | BIT(EV_C);
it is shorted, but it is not that great as it relies on knowledge of
EV_* values. Now relying on that knowledge is pretty safe as they form
userspace ABI and will not be changed, only extended. But nowadays I
prefer using __set_bit() or input_set_capability() if possible.

__set_bit() sets arbitrary bit in memory started at given address. So to
set bit 65 (or bit 1 in the 3rd element of u32 array a) on you do:
__set_bit(65, a);
input_set_capability() is a wrapper that does set both evbit and
appropriate *bit for given event type and event code and caller does not
need to know all the details about bitmap names inside input device
structure.
