I might have been unclear about this one.
It's OK to use 'u' but the values 1-4 below conflict in the 'u' space:

'u' 00-1F linux/smb_fs.h gone
'u' 20-3F linux/uvcvideo.h USB video class host driver
'u' 40-4f linux/udmabuf.h

so if you could use
'u' 50-5f
or
'u' 80-8f

then those conflicts wouldn't be there.
HTH.
