Dear Kumar Gala,

I dislike it, and always try hard to avoind things like this.
It would probably better to write instead

	/* Time for Read Enable High to Output High Impedance */
	#define CSOR_NAND_TRHZ_MASK	0x0000001C

Note that I have even seen compilers (some time ago, admitted) where
such code would cause build errors (that version of the compiler
would 1) insert "0x0000001C  /* Time for Read Enable" for
CSOR_NAND_TRHZ_MASK and 2) barf loudly about a lot of unterminated and
one un-opened comments).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
