What for?  Sure, this variant will work, but why bother with
        a = le32_to_cpu(b);
        (cpu_to_le32(a) & ....) | ....
and how is that better than
        (b & ...) | ...

IDGI...  Mind you, I'm not sure if there is any point keeping _var in that 
thing,
seeing that we use var only once - might be better off with
        ((var) & ~cpu_to_le32(GENMASK(_pos + _len - 1, _pos))) |        \
                cpu_to_le32(_val);                                      \
