I'm trying to understand what you mean. The return value of
the SUBREG_BYTE is poly_uint16_pod. When the value of the
NUM_POLY_INT_COEFFS is 2, using to_constant () to convert
to a constant may lose coeffs[1], right?

I agree with this, we can revert this first, but this problem
always exists, and it seems that we need to find other suitable
ways to solve this error.

Thanks,
