Changes since v3:

* updated commit message of patch 4 to state that a bug gets fixed.

All acks from bitmap.h and HWMON maintainers are already included.

Old coverletter follows:

I am currently working on upstreaming another I3C controller driver. As
many others, it needs to ensure odd parity for a dynamically assigned
address. The BSP version of the driver implemented a custom parity
algorithm. Wondering why we don't have a generic helper for this in the
kernel, I found that many I3C controller drivers all implement their
version of handling parity.

So, I sent out an RFC[1] moving the efficient implementation of the
SPD5118 driver to a generic location. The series was well received, but
the path for upstream was not clear. Because I need the implementation
for my I3C controller driver and I3C is a prominent user of this new
function, I got the idea of converting the existing I3C drivers and
resend the series, suggesting this all goes upstream via I3C.

A build-tested branch is here:

Looking forward to comments...

That was locally built. Now, build bot said it is happy, too.
