That check is wrong as well, probably (val0 < (u32)val) is right.
But the code is confusing.

How about:
		if (desc->size <= 1) {
			u64 old_val = *valp;
			val = upper32_bits(old_val) | val0;
			if (val < old_val)
				val += 1ull << 32;
		}

There is also an inconsistency with the read of *valp and the
WRITE_ONCE() lower down.
If there is a READ_ONCE() elsewhere then it not going to work on
32bit architectures - since both the read and write are still
likely to be two memory cycles.
