-Wconstant-conversion in drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvpp2/mvpp2_main.c

Hi all,

I was building s390 allyesconfig with clang and came across a curious
warning:

drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvpp2/mvpp2_main.c:580:41: warning:
implicit conversion from 'unsigned long' to 'int' changes value from
18446744073709551584 to -32 [-Wconstant-conversion]
        mvpp2_pools[MVPP2_BM_SHORT].pkt_size = MVPP2_BM_SHORT_PKT_SIZE;

                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 warning generated.

As far as I understand it, the warning comes from the fact that
MVPP2_BM_SHORT_FRAME_SIZE is treated as size_t because
MVPP2_SKB_SHINFO_SIZE ultimately calls ALIGN with sizeof(struct
skb_shared_info), which has typeof called on it.

The implicit conversion probably is fine but it would be nice to take
care of the warning. I am not sure what would be the best way to do that
would be though. An explicit cast would take care of it, maybe in
MVPP2_SKB_SHINFO_SIZE since the actual value I see is 320, which is able
to be fit into type int easily.

Any comments would be appreciated, there does not appear to be a
dedicated maintainer of this driver according to get_maintainer.pl.

Cheers,
Nathan
