Not the way macros are used; they really use them to set bits:

        /* Put all plls in bypass */
        cm_write_bypass(
                CLKMGR_BYPASS_PERPLLSRC_SET(
                CLKMGR_BYPASS_PERPLLSRC_SELECT_EOSC1) |
                CLKMGR_BYPASS_SDRPLLSRC_SET(
                CLKMGR_BYPASS_SDRPLLSRC_SELECT_EOSC1) |
		CLKMGR_BYPASS_PERPLL_SET(CLKMGR_BYPASS_ENABLE)
        |
                CLKMGR_BYPASS_SDRPLL_SET(CLKMGR_BYPASS_ENABLE) |
                CLKMGR_BYPASS_MAINPLL_SET(CLKMGR_BYPASS_ENABLE));


So replacing with ((x) & 1) would not work.

But yes, there are more cleanups that could be done there.
