It's exported and in a header used by other code, so why not make
this kernel-doc? /**

If it had been kernel doc, W=1 would have told you mask is
missing.

Passing a 0 for mask seems probably not worth while.
If all bits of the unsigned int are set then people can pass ~0

Or make this cper_bits_to_str_masked() and have
cper_bits_to_str() that doesn't take a mask.

If you do that, some simplifications can be easily made.

Perhaps make bits an unsigned long as then you can use the
for_each_set_bit() etc.

Might be worth

	bits = bits & mask;

Obviously setting bits that aren't in the mask is
odd though so maybe a warning print if that happens?
