implied length of a is 16 bits.
the  parameter type passed in should be explicitly cast/masked to u16.

I see sharing the 32 bits this way is how mpc5xxx does it..

But

mpc8260, mpc83xx, mpc8xx, ppc4xx, ipx store the bootcount_magic and the
parameter as 2 32bit values.

Is there a memory limitation on why you can not follow what most of the others
are doing ? If there is, please add the explanation as a comment.

Thank you for pinging me,
