Joerg beat me to it.

Well what pattern it should have is being discussed.
As I see it:
Alt
1) Leave it as it is and change other proto_add.. functions to behave
similarly.
1b) Leave the signature but rename it to something like
proto_tree_add_bits_ret_val() and add similar functions for other stuff.

2) use(proto_tree* tree, int hf, tvbuff_t* tvb, int offset, int bit_offset,
guint bits) as in iuup

3) use (proto_tree *tree, int hf_index, tvbuff_t *tvb, gint bit_offset, gint
no_of_bits, gboolean little_endian)

Other?
Regards
Anders
