[PATCH] regulator: uapi: Use UAPI integer type

[Thomas Weißschuh]

Using libc types and headers from the UAPI headers is problematic as it
introduces a dependency on a full C toolchain.

Use the fixed-width integer type provided by the UAPI headers instead.

      commit: b61104e7a6349bd2c2b3e2fb3260d87f15eda8f4

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
