     bcma: fix handling of big addrl

     The return value of bcma_erom_get_addr_desc() is a unsigned value 
and it
     could wrap around in the two complement writing. This happens for one
     core in the BCM4708 SoC.

It is probably caused by using IS_ERR_VALUE() macro which does a 
unsigned long cast, which gives different results on 64-bit platform.

This patch was submitted upstream yesterday by Dave for 3.12-rc1.

Arend
