Probably better to do the reverse to match the docs ?

Please don't drop undocumented type changes in. And btw it uses unsigned
int here as all over the kernel because it produced better code in many
cases

These patches seem to spend a lot of time renaming everything in drivers
which is usually pointless churn (eg the atp grand renaming), but the bug
fixes all look good
