gpiochip_get_desc() takes a u16 hwnum, but it turns out most users don't respect that and usually pass an unsigned int. Since implicit casting to a smaller type is dangerous - let's change the type of hwnum to unsigned int in gpiochip_get_desc() and in gpiochip_request_own_desc() where the size of hwnum is not respected either and who's a user of the former. This is safe as we then check the hwnum against the number of lines before proceeding in gpiochip_get_desc().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
