Sorry, I thought you replied on in-line to my messages and I'm trying
to use bitops for possible vlaue BIT(2) make the value 4 (1 << 2)

Same comment as above.

SERIAL_ROM may be better because SERIAL_NOR look spi-nor flash.

May be this is true with imx6_bmode but the rest have serial in
nature, but again enum make code compile time retain and good for for
code readable instead of assigning values unlike macro.s
