I can't understand this changelog at all....  :/  What are we fixing
exactly?  It seems like we're fixing something about bitwise
operators...  I guess let me check the Sparse warnings...  Here they are
from the latest linux-next:

drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c:211:9: warning: mixing different enum types

Each type of fix should be sent as a separate fix with a better
changelog.  People have already done the "static" fixes and IS_ERR()
fixes, so don't worry about those.  But I don't think anyway has fixed
the enum issues so resend that.  Also the bitwise thing is a real bug,
but there is already a fix for that, it just hasn't been merged yet.

The SET_CHECKED() macro is total garbage.  It has a hidden return and
it calls the rf69_set_packet_format() twice on error it expands to:

	if (rf69_set_packet_format(dev->spi, rx_cfg->enable_length_byte)) < 0)
		return rf69_set_packet_format(dev->spi, rx_cfg->enable_length_byte);

Mega turbo barf!  Kill it with fire!
