[lvc-project] [PATCH] gpiolib: acpi: use BIT_ULL() for u64 mask in address space handler

The BIT() macro uses unsigned long, which is 32 bits on 32-bit
architectures. When iterating over GPIO pins with index >= 32,
the expression (*value & BIT(i)) causes undefined behavior due
to shifting by a value >= type width.

Since 'value' is a pointer to u64, use BIT_ULL() to ensure correct
64-bit mask on all architectures.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace.

---
The ACPI specification does not define a strict upper bound for the
number of GPIO pins in the Pin Table. The value is derived from
16-bit offsets inside the resource descriptor, which theoretically
allows far more than 64 pins.

However, the current Linux GPIO ACPI OpRegion handler represents the
pin state as a single u64 value, which inherently limits the number of
addressable pins to 64. Thus, even though the specification permits
larger tables, the existing implementation already assumes a <= 64 pin
mask.

This patch fixes undefined behavior in the valid range [32, 63] on
32-bit architectures. Extending support beyond 64 pins would require
a different representation (e.g. bitmap) and is outside the scope of
this fix.
