Nit: if possible, please always use "__" instead of "_" as prefix, which is
more common coding style in the kernel.

No strong opinion, but FIELD_PREP() sounds a bit weird. Maybe rather a
FIELD_GEN() (aka "generate") and FIELD_GET() pair?

Is there a reason BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2(n) cannot be reused?

Because the (n) == 0 check would trigger (although it shouldn't ...)?
