+ * cper_bits_to_str - return a string for set bits
+ * @buf: buffer to store the output string
+ * @buf_size: size of the output string buffer
+ * @bits: bit mask
+ * @strs: string array, indexed by bit position
+ * @strs_size: size of the string array: @strs
+ *
+ * Add to @buf the bitmask in hexadecimal. Then, for each set bit in @bits,
+ * add the corresponding string describing the bit in @strs to @buf.
+ *
+ * A typical example is::
+ *
+ *	const char * const bits[] = {
+ *		"bit 3 name",
+ *		"bit 4 name",
+ *		"bit 5 name",
+ *	};
+ *	char str[120];

+ *	#define MASK GENMASK(5,3)
+ *
+ *	cper_bits_to_str(str, sizeof(str), FIELD_GET(MASK, bitmask),
+ *			 bits, ARRAY_SIZE(bits));
+ *
+ * The above code fills the string ``str`` with ``bit 3 name|bit 5 name``.
+ *
+ * Return: number of bytes stored or an error code if lower than zero.
