Re: [PATCH 3/3] Replace for_each_*_bit_from() with for_each_*_bit() where appropriate

A couple of kernel functions call for_each_*_bit_from() with start bit equal to 0. Replace them with for_each_*_bit().

No functional changes, but might improve on readability.

I would replace the entire loop by bitmap_replace() call.

Something like bitmap_replace(bits, bits, &gpio_status, mask, LTC2992_GPIO_NR);

(Good to split sometimes :-)
