You're right, I've missed it.
I've prepared second patch version which fixes first BUG_ON only.
checkpatch.pl also advises to replace BUG_ONs to WARN_ONs and 'unsigned' to 'unsigned int'
however I'm don't understand what it's better here:
- keep all as is, 
- or merge all changes together,
- or do it in separate patches,
- or do something else?

I believe it makes sense to remove BUG_ONs in separate patch, or may be merge it with current one,
but I do not like an idea to fight against bare 'unsigned' in fuse.

Could you please comment it?

Thank you,
