[PATCH 08/10] mfd: atmel-smc: Silence comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false warning (W=1)

[Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org>]

GENMASK and it's callees conduct checking to ensure the passed
parameters are valid.  One of those checks is for '< 0'.  So if an
unsigned value is passed, in an invalid comparison takes place.

Judging from the current code, it looks as though 'unsigned int'
is the correct type to use, so simply cast these small values
with no chance of being false negative to signed int for
comparison/error checking purposes.

Squashes the following W=1 warnings:
