W=1 builds with GCC 14.2.0 warn that:

tc is always in the range 0 - cfg->tcs. And as cfg->tcs is a u8,
the range is 0 - 255. Further, on inspecting the code, it seems
that cfg->tcs will never be more than AQ_CFG_TCS_MAX (8), so
the range is actually 0 - 8.

So, it seems that the condition that GCC flags will not occur.
But, nonetheless, it would be nice if it didn't emit the warning.

It seems that this can be achieved by changing the format specifier
from %d to %u, in which case I believe GCC recognises an upper bound
on the range of tc of 0 - 255. After some experimentation I think
this is due to the combination of the use of %u and the type of
cfg->tcs (u8).

Empirically, updating the type of the tc variable to unsigned int
has the same effect.

As both of these changes seem to make sense in relation to what the code
is actually doing - iterating over unsigned values - do both.

Compile tested only.
