Well that generates _18 = BIT_FIELD_REF <_2, 16, 14>; and becomes:

ubfx    x1, x20, 2, 16

This extracts bits 2-17 of the 30-bit value instead of bits 14-29. The issue is
that we're using a bitfield reference on a value that is claimed not to be a
bitfield in comment 6. So I can't see how using BIT_FIELD_REF could ever work
correctly.
