Given DECLARE_BITMAP() creates an array, the above line looks a bit funny now.

IMHO, either you use

    unsigned long values;
    values = val;
    __assign_bit(8, &values, rs);

or

    DECLARE_BITMAP(values, 10);
    values[0] = val;
    __assign_bit(8, values, rs);

Nevertheless, for hd44780.c:
