As type##_replace_bits() has no side effects it is only useful if its return value is checked. Add __must_check to enforce this usage. To have the bits replaced in-place typep##_replace_bits() can be used instead. Although, type_##_get_bits() and type_##_encode_bits() are harder to misuse they are still only useful if the return value is checked. For consistency, also add __must_check to these.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
