Indeed, it seems that bfad_im_post_vendor_event() assigns this parameter to 161 entry->aen_type = evt; which is defined as: 1456 u32 aen_type; so already we know that aen_type is meant to be a grab bag of enum values. bfad_im_post_vendor_event() is already passed many different types of enums, as you mention. Does changing aen_type to an `int` produce further warnings, because it would be nice to have that change in this one, too.
