As spotted by Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> (thanks!), we have improperly used an unsigned variable in a calculation that may result in a negative number. This may cause an unintended underflow if the interface frequency of the tuner is > approx. 40MHz. This patch should resolve the issue, following an approach similar to what is used in af9013.c.
