Return used most significant bits from sample bit-width rather than the whole
physical sample word size. The starting bit offset is defined in the format
itself.
The behaviour is not changed for 32-bit formats like S32_LE. But with this
change - msbits value 24 instead 32 is returned for 24-bit formats like S24_LE
etc.
Also, commit 2112aa034907 ("ALSA: pcm: Introduce MSBITS subformat interface")
compares sample bit-width not physical sample bit-width to reset MSBITS_MAX bit
from the subformat bitmask.
Probably no applications are using msbits value for other than S32_LE/U32_LE
formats, because no drivers are reducing msbits value for other formats (with
the msb offset) at the moment.
For sanity, increase PCM protocol version, letting the user space to detect
the changed behaviour.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
