Please see Timur's review comments to my original patch for this
isssue ([1]). The "unsigned int" should indeed be fixed.
I resubmitted a v2 with the review comments incorporated on July 08,
see [2], but I caught only one part of the needed changes. V3 sent
right now; see [3]. I'd rather see this added than yours.
Also note that it might be a good idea to add the MPC83xx custodion to
the Cc: list of such patches...
