This looks fine, I would just put a comment somewhere like "oldest bit 
is in LSB" or "oldest bit is in MSB". Then for the U16 rest is about 
question of byte endianess for hw vs sw...

Of course, from decoding point of view oldest-in-LSB is easiest since it 
becomes just "y = x & 1; x >>= 1;" loop, while for encoding 
oldest-in-MSB is easiest since it's "x |= y; x <<= 1;"
