Clang static checker warns:
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8821ae/phy.c:184:49:
The result of the left shift is undefined due to shifting by '32',
which is greater or equal to the width of type 'u32'.
[core.UndefinedBinaryOperatorResult]
If the value of the right operand is negative or is greater than or
equal to the width of the promoted left operand, the behavior is
undefined.[1][2]
For example, when using different gcc's compilation optimization options
(-O0 or -O2), the result of '(u32)data << 32' is different. One is 0, the
other is old value of data. Let _rtl8821ae_phy_calculate_bit_shift()'s
return value less than 32 to fix this problem. Warn if bitmask is zero.

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.
