Hmm. Ok. So u32 would actually make even more sense there (because
PM8058_LED_TYPE_* does not really need to be 64-bit), but it would
cause a warning.

I don't like this. This fix actually makes code waste memory and is
uglier.

...but we get a warning fix. So I don't like the patch, but it is an
improvement...
