read_bitstream takes an int rdsize, not a u16.
and this function will overflow tbuf if len > 64

static void readinfo_bitstream(char *bitdata, char *buf, int *offset)
{
	char tbuf[64];
	s32 len;

	/* read section char */
	read_bitstream(bitdata, tbuf, offset, 1);

	/* read length */
	read_bitstream(bitdata, tbuf, offset, 2);

	len = tbuf[0] << 8 | tbuf[1];

	read_bitstream(bitdata, buf, offset, len);
	buf[len] = '\0';
}

len is up to 64k but tbuf is 64 bytes.

	len = get_unaligned_le16(tbuf)

might be nicer than

	len = tbuf[0] << 8 | tbuf[1];
