NAK.  /Not/ u32.  unsigned long.  Run this through sparse, and sparse
will complain with u32 here.  Just because the driver is currently used
on a 32-bit arch is no reason to be sloppy about this.

In fact, running this through sparse (make ... C=1) or even C=2 might
well be a good idea to check whether there's any other silly mistakes.

Note that Documentation/SubmitChecklist calls for checks with sparse.
