Ok, I'll try:

As I said, I'd rather see less uses of BIT() instead of more. While
using 'BIT(23)' is often than the open-coded '1 << 23', I wish more
people would write that as '0x00800000' instead. It's easier to
match with data sheets, and to compare to printk output, plus
it's non-ambiguous if you are dealing with data sheets that use
the IBM convention of counting the bits from the other end.
