Subject[PATCH v1] Specific requirement of type casting for 64-bit architectures.
Date
-Return type of 'qe_muram_alloc' is 'unsigned long', That Was trying to
assigned in ucc_fast_tx_virtual_fifo_base_offset and
ucc_fast_rx_virtual_fifo_base_offset. It will work on 32-bit architectures
But data can be loss on 64-bit architectures if 'qe_muram_alloc' will
return greater then MAX value of 'unsigned int'.

-Passing value in IS_ERR_VALUE() is wrong, as they pass an 'unsigned int'
into a function, It will through this compilation warning.

"
include/linux/err.h:21:49: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
#define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) unlikely((unsigned long)(void *)(x) >= (unsigned long)-MAX_ERRNO)
^
include/linux/compiler.h:170:42: note: in definition of macro ‘unlikely’
# define unlikely(x) __builtin_expect(!!(x), 0)
"

-Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they
pass an 'unsigned int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long'
argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended
on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an
unsigned type.

However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'
argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.
