Just return an integer. The compiler (should) truncate it to fit.
Bit fields, are always 'contained' in a larger carrier type (in the case of CCS, an int8, or char type). Hence even if you can declare the smaller type for the return, the result is the whole 'carrier' being returned, and then truncated to fit the location. Hence there is no advantage in returning the smaller type.

Best Wishes
