    fbdev: stifb: Make the STI next font pointer a 32-bit signed offset
    
    [ Upstream commit 8a32aa17c1cd48df1ddaa78e45abcb8c7a2220d6 ]
    
    The pointer to the next STI font is actually a signed 32-bit
    offset. With this change the 64-bit kernel will correctly subract
    the (signed 32-bit) offset instead of adding a (unsigned 32-bit)
    offset. It has no effect on 32-bit kernels.
    
    This fixes the stifb driver with a 64-bit kernel on qemu.
