+ * The C99 types uintXX_t that are usually defined in 'stdint.h' are not as
+ * unambiguous on ARM as you would expect. For the types below, there is a
+ * difference on ARM between GCC built for bare metal ARM, GCC built for glibc
+ * and the kernel itself, which results in build errors if you try to build with
+ * -ffreestanding and include 'stdint.h' (such as when you include 'arm_neon.h'
+ * in order to use NEON intrinsics)
+ *
+ * As the typedefs for these types in 'stdint.h' are based on builtin defines
+ * supplied by GCC, we can tweak these to align with the kernel's idea of those
+ * types, so 'linux/types.h' and 'stdint.h' can be safely included from the same
+ * source file (provided that -ffreestanding is used).
