I have compared the generated ixgbe_common.o both from "u16 i" and "u8 I" .
Two .o files are identical. 
Whether the variable i is defined as u8 or u16,  there is no compile warning. 
The version of gcc version is 6.3.1 20161221 (Red Hat 6.3.1-1) (GCC).
If i is u16, mac->led_link_act = i; should generate a warning, but there is no.
It is a bit weird .
As you know, this code is provided by another Intel team.
I think that it will generate a warning when they build it with their C compiler.
Anyway, to define i as u8 is better than u16 and we had better keep aligned with them.
