3.16.52-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 13ffe9a26df4e156363579b25c904dd0b1e31bfb upstream. The current shift of st->rx[2] left shifts a u8 24 bits left, promotes the integer to a an int and then to a unsigned u64. If the top bit of st->rx[2] is set then we end up with all the upper bits being set to 1. Fix this by casting st->rx[2] to a u64 before the 24 bit left shift.
