include/linux/bitrev.h: fix constant bitrev
clang points out with hundreds of warnings that the bitrev macros have a problem with constant input: drivers/hwmon/sht15.c:187:11: error: variable '__x' is uninitialized when used within its own initialization [-Werror,-Wuninitialized] u8 crc = bitrev8(data->val_status & 0x0F); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ include/linux/bitrev.h:102:21: note: expanded from macro 'bitrev8' __constant_bitrev8(__x) : \ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~ include/linux/bitrev.h:67:11: note: expanded from macro '__constant_bitrev8' u8 __x = x; \ ~~~ ^ Both the bitrev and the __constant_bitrev macros use an internal variable named __x, which goes horribly wrong when passing one to the other. The obvious fix is to rename one of the variables, so this adds an extra '_'. It seems we got away with this because - there are only a few drivers using bitrev macros - usually there are no constant arguments to those - when they are constant, they tend to be either 0 or (unsigned)-1 (drivers/isdn/i4l/isdnhdlc.o, drivers/iio/amplifiers/ad8366.c) and give the correct result by pure chance. In fact, the only driver that I could find that gets different results with this is drivers/net/wan/slic_ds26522.c, which in turn is a driver for fairly rare hardware (adding the maintainer to Cc for testing).
