Yes, this driver code (atm/ambassador.c) seems to have been broken that
way since it was merged in 1999.

Is it in alight with all architectures? that support this interface natively?
(Return value is arch-dependent AFAIU, so it might actually return

I think you have elaborate more in the commit message)
Well, this is the generic io code, at least these api's appear to not be
different
for each architecture. The output read by the architecture dependant code i.e.
__raw_readb() below is getting is placed into a u8. So I think the output of
the function will be u8.
static inline u8 _inb(unsigned long addr)
{
u8 val;
__io_pbr();
val = __raw_readb(PCI_IOBASE + addr);
__io_par(val);
return val;
}

I think your original version is fine, this was clearly just a typo and I've
applied your fix now and will forward it to Linus in the next few days,
giving John the chance to add his Ack or further comments.
Thanks a lot for spotting it and sending a fix.
Thanks Arnd.
Yeah, these looks like copy+paste errors on my part:

I'll give this patch a spin, but not expecting any differences (since
original seems ok).

But they look like issues which were in the existing code. I tried to

[PATCH] io: Fix return type of _inb and _inl
The return type of functions _inb, _inw and _inl are all u16 which looks
wrong. This patch makes them u8, u16 and u32 respectively.
The original commit text for these does not indicate that these should
be all forced to u16.
Fixes: f009c89df79a ("io: Provide _inX() and _outX()")
