I might have been unclear about this one.
It's OK to use 'u' but the values 1-4 below conflict in the 'u' space:

'u'   00-1F  linux/smb_fs.h                                          gone
'u'   20-3F  linux/uvcvideo.h                                        USB video class host driver
'u'   40-4f  linux/udmabuf.h

so if you could use
'u'   50-5f
or
'u'   80-8f

then those conflicts wouldn't be there.
HTH.
