The actual layout of bits defined in C bit-fields (e.g. int foo : 3) is implementation-defined. Structures defined in <linux/if_rmnet.h> address this by specifying all bit-fields twice, to cover two possible layouts. I think this pattern is repetitive and noisy, and I find the whole notion of compiler "bitfield endianness" to be non-intuitive. Stop using C bit-fields for the command/data flag and the pad length fields in the rmnet_map structure, and define a single-byte flags field instead. Define a mask for the single-bit "command" flag, and another mask for the encoded pad length. The content of both fields can be accessed using a simple bitwise AND operation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
