commit f3e2d56dce47dbd0bb3f69f84741b439542fef37 upstream.
Building an arm allmodconfig kernel triggers a lengthy but harmless
warning in the isicom driver:
drvers/tty/isicom.c: In function 'isicom_send_break':
uapi/linux/swab.h:13:15: warning: integer overflow in expression [-Woverflow]

outw((length & 0xff00), base);

Apparently, the problem is related to the fact that the value 0xff00,
when used as a 16-bit number, is negative and passed into bitwise
operands of the generic byte swapping code.
Marking the input argument as unsigned in both technically correct
and avoids the warning.
