It's less error prone for callers not to modify the output parameters
until we're sure the call won't fail.

Can we stick to uchar until the number of flags grows?

BITFIELD32? And then perhaps turn the define into a const validation
data?

Also policy needs a .strict_start_type now.

Not 100% sure if conditional is needed, but please check the return
code.
