This has no business being in a uapi header for VAS.

Put it in asm/vas.h if you must.

Personally I really dislike these sort of macros because they completely
obscure what the final value should end up being, and it's the final
value you'll see when you're debugging it.

eg. that could also be written:

       ccw = (nx842_ct << 16) | (fc & 7);
