Hi Jonas,

No concerns on my side. FWIW, the 'bare use of unsigned' coding style
inconsistency is quite common in the USB gadget framework [1-2].

Depending on the feedback from the maintainers, I see below potential
outcomes for this patch (sorted by my personal estimation of chance):
 - we take it and we fix the rest on best-effort basis.
 - we kindly ask you to fix the issue globally in USB gadget space.
 - we don't care, as this is not a functional issue. We rather prefer to
   concentrate on functional problems.

Deciding on the above is a matter of maintainer's preference.
