Well, yes. That's why recent binutils is complaining. It wouldn't if the
constant values were always in range.
I'm not versed in the x86 subdomain of black magic, so I'm not sure if you
imply that it was intentional that FFmpeg fed out of range values that would
be cropped, or if it was unintentional. In the later case, I think that the
existing assembler constraint should actually be kept as it is precisely to
detect errors, and the calling code path ought to be fixed instead.
Either way, changing "i" for "I" will generate suboptimal-looking code as I
pointed out up-thread. If we don't even care about that, then we migth as well
shift in C code, AFAICT.
