why? The data type is derived from the value.
0xffff0000ffffffffLL is unsigned. GCC does the right thing. Here
we're just shutting up sparse.
I actually most of the time use LL as well since it's one character
shorter.

Ex:
  printf("%llx\n", 0xffff0000ffffffffLL >> 32);
  printf("%llx\n", 0xffff0000ffffffffULL >> 32);
  printf("%llx\n", ((long long)0xffff0000ffffffff) >> 32);
  printf("%llx\n", ((unsigned long long)0xffff0000ffffffff) >> 32);
will print:
  ffff0000
  ffff0000
  ffffffffffff0000
  ffff0000

I also think that sparse shouldn't be complaining about this.
The suffix is redundant.

it's correct even without LL.
It's not a bugfix. It's 'mute the sparse' patch :)
