[PATCH v4 2/3] bitfield: add u8 helpers

From: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
Date: 2018-06-18 20:38:12
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: bitmap api, the rest · Maintainers: Yury Norov, Linus Torvalds

There's no reason why we shouldn't pack/unpack bits into/from
u8 values/registers/etc., so add u8 helpers.

Use the ____MAKE_OP() macro directly to avoid having nonsense
le8_encode_bits() and similar functions.
