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.

I will PULL-request that via my tree for 3.7. I don't see any reason this should go older ones.
