The usage of the BIT() macro in inline asm code was introduced in 6.3 by
the commit in the Fixes tag. However, this macro uses "1UL" for integer
constant suffixes in its shift operation, while gas before 2.28 does not
support the "L" suffix after a number, and gas before 2.27 does not
support the "U" suffix, resulting in build errors such as the following
with such versions:
./arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_64.h:124: Error: found 'L', expected: ')'
./arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_64.h:124: Error: junk at end of line,
first unrecognized character is `L'
However, the currently minimal binutils version the kernel supports is
2.25.
There's a single use of this macro here, revert to (1 << 0) that works
with such older binutils.
As an additional info, the binutils PRs which add support for those
suffixes are:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
