Note that you shouldn't do it in two assignments
(I'm seeing this in cpu/stm32l1/periph/gpio.c):

    port &= ~mask;
    port |= (new_value << shift);

This will result in bigger code and the first assignment will write a
spurious value to the register, which might cause problems.

    port = (port & ~mask) | (new_value << shift);

is better. Or

    port = (port & ~mask)
         | (new_value1 << shift1)
         ...
         | (new_valueN << shiftN);

for multiple fields.
