Yes, but the cast to int is implicit. Perhaps
return (intensity & 0xffff);
(or just a comment) would make it more clear why the cast is there.

Yes, (and only the 16 least-significant bits are used). That and the
fact that the platform-data limits are currently unsigned long (I was
considering fixing this later) was why I preferred keeping all register
value manipulation in u32 and do a single cast at the end.

This would actually introduce a new conversion warning (unless you add
parentheses as well) as pwm_duty_min is unsigned long. Same below.

However, if you feel strongly about this, I'll respin the series (a later
patch would likely no longer apply), use u16 and add casts to the two
assignments.
