 's16' preferred over 'int16_t'

Sorry for this misunderstanding,

Since received a response from Stuart on my previous patch telling me I 
was probably working on a out-of-date codebase,
I started to look where I did go wrong.

After some research I found out that I was always one step behind 
because I was developing on the actual Linux kernel branch instead
of using the Staging-next as my codebase.

He wrote me to sent the patches that still apply over again with a new 
version tag so that's why this patch only contains 2 of them.

I am still new at contributing to the Linux kernel and some things were 
not really clear to me at the beginning.
I hope that you could still use these patches and I am trying to avoid 
misunderstandings like these.

Do I still need to resend them and is there anything left for me to do 
with these?

Best regards,

Shiva Kerdel
