Currently the bitmask helper assumes int32, this means the sign bit in smaller masks cannot be set.
INS_HNTCH_HMNCS
is a example of aint8
param.Currently the 8th bit will set the value to 128:

This is out of range for a int8, so when you write and read back you get a constrained down value of 127 which is a completely different bitmask.
With this patch when setting the 8th bit:
We now get -128 which is the correct in range value for the int8 param type.
