There are cases where bits < storagebits and the result is not alligned to the LSB.
Lets say we have an 10-bit ADC.
The output is stored in a 16-bit word, with four leading zeros, then the 10-bit datum, followed by 2 don't care bits.
So it would be good to provide an additional shift value?
Or how shall we handle these cases?
