I.e. compilers are not required to allow uint32_least_t in this place.
The previous code used short for a bit-field, so this patch makes nothing worse in this respect
That's not quite as certain as you make it sound. Whether a compiler
allows "short" for bitfields is entirely unrelated to it allowing
"uint32_least_t" for them. All four combinations of outcomes are
possible (though not equally probable).
Do you know a C99+ compiler which has a problem with such a bit-field?
No. But neither do I claim my knowledge of C compilers to be complete.
