I'm not sure I agree on this one. "tmp" is used to store the result of
a subtraction of 2 pointers. IIRC, the exact type returned is ptrdiff_t,
which is a signed value...

Would type size_t work, in this case?

Same here?

I am not sure about this one either. Can you try changing the type
of parameter nr_ranges to int? It looks like the only usage of this
function is in hw-tree, and the variable used is actually an int...

Same here.

Same for nr_strings.

Once nr_strings is changed to int, we should no longer need to change
string_nr to unsigned.

Would type size_t for sizeof_array work in your case?  It seems that
the use of int or unsigned is a little random for this type of argument
(check the use of the hw_add_property function, sometimes we pass an int,
sometimes we pass an unsigned).

Same as above.

Use size_t?
