You see that the comment was too terse to describe the context in full.
Thank you for exposing a flaw.

The reason is pretty simple, like Geert said it might be a personal reason,
but a code pattern 

	int i;
	...
	for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(...); i++)

is my own red rag, because I've seen the pattern so many times, and every
time here a compiler produces a W=12 (or -Wsign-compare) warning like
the next one:

drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/thc63lvd1024.c:182:16: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Wsign-compare]
  for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(thc63->vccs); i++, reg++) {
                ^

Usually a conversion from 'int i' to 'unsigned int i' is trivial, and lowering
of a noise level in compiler's output is seen as beneficial, because it gives
more chances to people to capture a real problem.
