Hi Artyom -

I happen to use GCC on a few targets that have unsigned as a 16-bit 
value but that isn't the point. The real point is the standard 
guarantees that unsigned is at least 16-bits and you need 20. You should 
be using uint32_t or equivalent. Using unsigned int when you need 
20-bits is an error.
