Right... I think it's better practice to use an explicitly sized type
where the data is directly derived from the device tree and ultimately
passed to the firmware call interface. Gradually enacting this while
tolerating some cosmetic inconsistency in the code seems OK to me, but
I'm open to other opinions.
