      stmmac: avoid ipq806x constant overflow warning · 49e4a229

      Building dwmac-ipq806x on a 64-bit architecture produces a harmless
      warning from gcc:
      
      stmmac/dwmac-ipq806x.c: In function 'ipq806x_gmac_probe':
      include/linux/bitops.h:6:19: warning: overflow in implicit constant conversion [-Woverflow]
        val = QSGMII_PHY_CDR_EN |
      stmmac/dwmac-ipq806x.c:333:8: note: in expansion of macro 'QSGMII_PHY_CDR_EN'
       #define QSGMII_PHY_CDR_EN   BIT(0)
       #define BIT(nr)   (1UL << (nr))
      
      This is a result of the type conversion rules in C, when we take the
      logical OR of multiple different types. In particular, we have
      and unsigned long
      
      	QSGMII_PHY_CDR_EN == BIT(0) == (1ul << 0) == 0x0000000000000001ul
      
      and a signed int
      
      	0xC << QSGMII_PHY_TX_DRV_AMP_OFFSET == 0xc0000000
      
      which together gives a signed long value
      
      	0xffffffffc0000001l
      
      and when this is passed into a function that takes an unsigned int type,
      gcc warns about the signed overflow and the loss of the upper 32-bits that
      are all ones.
      
      This patch adds 'ul' type modifiers to the literal numbers passed in
      here, so now the expression remains an 'unsigned long' with the upper
      bits all zero, and that avoids the signed overflow and the warning.
