LGTM. Looks like drivers/thunderbolt/tb_regs.h also defines it as u32
(no change needed here).
Triple checking it's uses, looks like it gets assigned:
drivers/thunderbolt/path.c#L492:
hop.priority = path->priority;
hop is an instance of a struct tb_regs_hop, which is the definition I
was looking at above. LGTM thanks Nathan!
