Use __8 to replace int and remove the unnecessary __bitwise type attribute.

WTF is all that about anyway??
What is wrong with:
#define    SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_TYPE_NONE    0u /* invalid */

I'm sorry I don't quite understand you. Are you suggesting SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_TYPE_NONE
isn't needed in the first place?

I think David is asking why it's defined the way it is,
and I'd guess it's to have the compiler issue an error
if you attempt to assign one of these values to a variable
or field of the wrong type.

No, you should not attempt to change this.
