Created an attachment (id=2438)
 --> (https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=2438)
revised updated patch
I did all the requested clean up fixes (bogus conditional, bogus return NULL,
bogus initializer) unrelated to the code I added in the function as requested,
no problem.
I attached the revised patch with the latest changes.
I cannot answer your question as to why 'bit_offset' and 'no_of_bits' are 
signed values - that is pre-existing code.  Yes, it looks like the code will 
fail if a negative number was passed in and I don't think this function was
meant to use negative number given that bit offset and number of bits from
that offset is passed in.
However, with that said, I plan to leave those alone, pre-existing code as
is, if that is ok with you.
