Nice catch. We changed 'flags' from u64 to "unsigned int" in the last
revision of the series. Patch looks good, but I'd prefer using
"unsigned int" as type, instead of __u32. Just to be consistent with
the syscall interface. The return type of F_GET_SEALS is actually
"int" and the MSB is reserved for signed error codes, so you can
savely use "int r = fcntl(fd, F_GET_SEALS, 0)" in
mfd_assert_get_seals().

Thanks
David
