I don't understand this comment. You should NOT use clrsetbits_*() instead of set_bit_field() - depending on what you want to do, clrbits_*() or setbits_*() are better choices for simple operations. Also please notice that none of clrbits_*(), setbits_*() or clrsetbits_*() perform any masking or shifting. If you don't want to do this explicitly when using the macro, you can hide it in respective definitions of the mask values. I showed how this could be done in the examples I posted in the thread with Simon.
