what about 'struct completion tx_done'?

With my c++ developer hat on, I think either 'u32' or 'unsigned int' is
more proper type for carrier and duty_cycle. Both s_tx_duty_cycle and
s_tx_carrier are declared with second parameter of type u32, maybe
that's what have to be used all over the place if you are to change from
'unsigned int'. But better leave as it is, pwm_set_relative_duty_cycle()
takes 'unsigned int' anyway.

OTOH, it is (*tx_ir)(struct rc_dev *dev, unsigned *txbuf, unsigned n),
so maybe you should use 'unsigned' or 'unsigned int' for those.

I know at the end all those will be compiled to same type, but still :)

Agreed, that's much better.

I much prefer the rust way of u64/u32/u16/u8/usize and simply no int/short/long
types at all. int is useful when your compiler needs to work on weird
architectures with non-power-of-two register sizes like the pdp-9 (18 bits
anyone?), but on contemporary cpus there is really no need for int: int is
always a 32 bit value.

So I'm all for banishing int in every form, but for now the kernel uses
unsigned int and u32 interchangably, so it's hard to be consistent with this.

Maybe it's time for tx_ir to be defined with u32 types and do away with
this madness.

However, as it stands I agree with your points. I guess it's best to be
consistent with the apis this driver implements/uses.
