Better to add a negative value check. Some formats return -EINVAL.


So what should we do with those formats? Not support them?

Just nitpicking: Using BIT() for 32bit int isn't always a wise choice
since BIT() is defined as unsigned long. This is a generic problem,
though, as we see many codes using BIT() wrongly (and thus get
compiler warnings on 64bit machines). We should introduce a new macro
for 32bit int...
