Well, it is interesting, but insufficient. And, unfortunately, I don't 
have a good (and easy) recipe for how to fix this properly.

The problem is, that in soc_camera_limit_side all tests and arithmetics 
are performed with unsigned in mind, now, if you change them to signed, 
think what happens, if some of them are negative. No, I don't know when 
negative members of struct v4l2_rect make sense, having them signed 
doesn't seem a very good idea to me. But they cannot be changed - that's a 
part of the user-space API...

Casting all parameters inside that inline to unsigned would be way too 
ugly. Maybe we could at least keep start_min, length_min, and length_max 
unsigned, and only change start and length to signed, and only cast those 
two inside the function. Then, if you grep through all the drivers, 
there's only one location, where soc_camera_limit_side() is called with 
the latter 3 parameters not constant - two calls in 
sh_mobile_ceu_camera.c. So, to keep sparse happy, you'd have to cast 
there. Ideally, you would also add checks there for negative values...

And these:

	if (output_w > max(512U, input_w / 2)) {
	if (output_h > max(384U, input_h / 2)) {

would now produce compiler warnings... Have you actually tried to compile 
your patch? You'll also have to change formats in dev_dbg() calls here...

and here.
