Subject[PATCH] bitfield.h: annotate type_replace_bits functions with __must_check
Date
usage of apis like u32_replace_bits() without actually catching the return
value could hide problems without any warning!

Found this with recent usage of this api in SoundWire!
Having __must_check annotation would really catch this issues in future!
