It's because it's returning something defined as a bitmask, though since
we don't even have enough modes for 8 bits that's not really a strong

Just to confirm, do you want to change the return type of get_mode() to "int" instead of
unsigned int? And then return proper error type?

In this case I think it should be single patch (core + driver).
