Not sure I understand the concern since this is a constant which will
always be "2".

But if you must cast, do it in snprintf() and not in the macro
definition. checkpatch also complains about the cast.

I would prefer for all instances of this to be consistent, though. So
whatever you do, please also fix qla4xxx.
