atomic_or_32_nv(volatile uint32_t *ptr, uint32_t bits);
unsigned int
atomic_or_uint_nv(volatile unsigned int *ptr, unsigned int bits);

uint64_t
atomic_or_64_nv(volatile uint64_t *ptr, uint64_t bits);
DESCRIPTION
The atomic_or family of functions load the value of the variable referenced by ptr, perform a logical 'or' with the value bits, and store the
result back to the variable referenced by ptr in an atomic fashion.
The *_nv() variants of these functions return the new value.
The 64-bit variants of these functions are available only on platforms that can support atomic 64-bit memory access. Applications can check
for the availability of 64-bit atomic memory operations by testing if the pre-processor macro __HAVE_ATOMIC64_OPS is defined.
