[PATCH] drm/msm/disp: fix endian bug in debugfs code

[Dan Carpenter]

The "vbif->features" is type unsigned long but the debugfs file
is treating it as a u32 type.  This will work in little endian
systems, but the correct thing is to change the debugfs to use
an unsigned long.

You might wonder why this code has so many casts.  It's required because
this data is const.  Which is fine because the file is read only.

As you are converting this to the ulong file, could you please also 
remove the now-unnecessary type cast?

I wanted to remove all the casting but they are required because of the
const.
