"don't care" is used as a compound adjective and the verb in the
compound adjective is ignored in that case. Please see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t-care_(logic) for details. It is
possible to improve readability slightly with the following variant:
Bit 8-31 of this register are apparently don't-care bits, and...
Not sure if this is really better, and we probably should ask a native
speaker who works with hardware logic.
I would be tempted to put:
are "don't care"
with the quotes, if it is quoting the datasheet?
