The same kind of thing causes a sparse warning in fs/open.c (and
fs/namei.c and fs/locks.c too)

CHECK   fs/open.c
fs/open.c:270:29: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different base types)
fs/open.c:270:29:    expected unsigned int [unsigned] mode
fs/open.c:270:29:    got restricted fmode_t [usertype] <noident>

fs/open.c:	error = break_lease(inode, FMODE_WRITE);
