[PATCH][next][V2] ixgbe: fix potential u32 overflow on shift

From: Colin King
Date: Fri Jun 07 2019 - 14:23:44 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The u32 variable rem is being shifted using u32 arithmetic however
it is being passed to div_u64 that expects the expression to be a u64.
The 32 bit shift may potentially overflow, so cast rem to a u64 before
shifting to avoid this. Also remove comment about overflow.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unintentional integer overflow")
Fixes: cd4583206990 ("ixgbe: implement support for SDP/PPS output on X550 hardware")
Fixes: 68d9676fc04e ("ixgbe: fix PTP SDP pin setup on X540 hardware")
