What does it matter who is it from? It is wrong. The compiler prints a
warning because you're calling a function using a wrong signature
(signed int vs unsigned). Strictly speaking, this is UB. The only thing
this patch does is shut up the warning, but the problem is still there -
you are still calling a function using a wrong signature.
