You have a strange mix of choices here for how you changed the code.

This time you did not move the "static" or "unsigned int" to the same
line as the function name, but then:

You moved "unsigned int" here, but then:

You did both the static and the return type here.

Pick one style and stick with it please.  Consistancy matters, that is
why we have a coding style to start with.  Brains and pattern matching
and all that.

In this case, this last one (both static and the return type), should be
used.
