Well, the comparison isn't so problematic usually.  The unneeded casts
are found in many places simply to shut crap warnings by old buggy
gcc.  But, it's fine to make it int again.

Could you split this as a separate patch?  This unsigned int -> int
change is irrelevant with the fix for 8 PCM devices limit.

You cannot use SNDRV_OS_MINORS unconditionally here.
In the case DYNAMIC_MINORS=n, SNDRV_PCM_DEVICES is still valid.  Maybe
better to define SNDRV_PCM_DEVICES with ifdef, such as,

#ifdef CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS
#define SNDRV_PCM_DEVICES	(SNDRV_OS_MINORS-2)
#else
#define SNDRV_PCM_DEVICES	8
#endif

Ditto.

Don't use inline.  It's good for a single-line or a pretty small
function, but not for else.  The compiler is clever enough to inline
the functions automatically if needed. 

Also, any reason to rename to *_get()?  get() is usually paired with
put().

No inline please.

Ditto.

Otherwise it looks like a really nice fix.

Thanks!
