Ok.

This is the commit that added such rule:
commit a1ce18e4f941d2039aa3bdeee17db968919eac2f

checkpatch: warn on bare unsigned or signed declarations without int
Kernel style prefers "unsigned int <foo>" over "unsigned <foo>" and
"signed int <foo>" over "signed <foo>".
Emit a warning for these simple signed/unsigned <foo> declarations. Fix
it too if desired.

So, the people to blame are mentioned on it. I was actually
expecting to see any rationale for that decision, but the log
is useless on that sense. Maybe there are some discussions at
LKML explaining that.
At least on the patch thread, no mention why it was done:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg2205100.html
That's said, it sounds that the checkpatch autofix rule should
do the changes for you, according with the comments.
There is a patch to sparc that does this:
git ls-files arch/sparc | \
xargs ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --fix-inplace --types=unspecified_int
I guess I'll just run that on our subsystem, and we're done with
that, removing the risc of having to merge hundreds of stupid
checkpatch fixup stuff for the existing code, and distracting
ourselves from patches that really matters.
