Now that we have generic bitmap_read() and bitmap_write(), which are
inline and try to take care of non-bound-crossing and aligned cases
to keep them optimized, collapse bitmap_{get,set}_value8() into
simple wrappers around the former ones.
bloat-o-meter shows no difference in vmlinux and -2 bytes for
gpio-pca953x.ko, which says the optimization didn't suffer due to
that change. The converted helpers have the value width embedded
and always compile-time constant and that helps a lot.

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.
