Tom? Do you know why your script missed this %hu?

btw: this would probably better as a single line something like:

dev_warn(&client->dev,
"Firmware version: %u is older than known working version %u\n",
radio->registers[SI_CHIPID] & SI_CHIPID_FIRMWARE
RADIO_FW_VERSION);

Also a few lines above is:

dev_info(&client->dev, "DeviceID=0x%4.4hx ChipID=0x%4.4hx\n",
radio->registers[DEVICEID], radio->registers[SI_CHIPID])

and these %4.4hx uses are also not changed by this patch.
