                                      ^^^^^^^^
I don't really care, but it's customary to use 'unsigned int'.

With today's linux-next (or Greg's tty-next tree), it is no longer necessary to
declare separate earlycon's when you want both; OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE() declares
both a devicetree-enabled earlycon and automatically provides for a command line
earlycon of the same name.
