Fixes a wrong bit mask used for the ADC's result, which was caused by an
improper usage of the GENMASK() macro. The bits higher than ADC's 
resolution are undefined and if not masked out correctly, a wrong result 
can be given. The GENMASK() macro indexing is zero based, so the mask has 
to go from [resolution -1 , 0].

This needs to go after the changelog text.

You have trailing whitespace in your text, perhaps get your editor to
show you this?

Also, this is a new version of the patch, it needs to be marked as such
so we know which is the "latest".  The documentation says how to do
that.

thanks,
