NAME
       modbus_get_byte_from_bits - get the value from many bits

SYNOPSIS
       uint8_t modbus_get_byte_from_bits(const uint8_t *src, int index, unsigned int nb_bits);

DESCRIPTION
       The modbus_get_byte_from_bits() function shall extract a value from many bits. All nb_bits bits from src at position index will be read as
       a single value. To obtain a full byte, set nb_bits to 8.

RETURN VALUE
       The modbus_get_byte_from_bits() function shall return a byte containing the bits read.
