Subject[PATCH] driver/input/ff-memless.c
From
I was experiencing force feedback joystick issues in my Force 3D Pro and
when developing a new driver for the new Logitech G940 after I
recompiled my kernel.

I was able to track it down to a signed vs unsigned problem in
ff-memless.c and gcc 4.4.2.
The code in question did not seem to give a problem with gcc 4.2.4.

According to gitweb, a signed vs unsigned was changed on May 8th by
Jussi Kivilinna <jussi.kivilinna@mbnet.fi>
Input: ff-memless - fix signed to unsigned bit overflow

to change the gain from a signed to an unsigned int to fix a rumble
issue, but it appears to broke a the
constant force section of the code.

It is a simple, cast to fix and should not have any ill effects.
