floats are cast as double by Mysqli, so rule length_max is added, but max_length is null and validation fails

MY_Model.php line 2314

if ($field_data['type'] != 'float') $this->validator->add_rule($field, 'length_max', lang('error_value_exceeds_length', $field_name), array($value, $field_data['max_length']));

Could this be changed to:

if ($field_data['type'] == 'int'

This has been fixed in the develop branch.
