I can understand I should not use 'unsigned int' for bitmap of each card 
instances because in most architecture 'unsigned int' has just 32 bit width.

But I cannot understand this sentence.

I already use this 'devices_used' for bitmap. So I guess you did mean 
alternative ways like pointer array. For example:
static struct snd_fireworks *devices_used[SNDRV_CARDS];

Can I request your explaination for this?


Thanks
