[PATCH] rtc: tx4939: avoid unintended sign extension on a 24 bit shift

From: Colin King
Date: Thu Feb 15 2018 - 13:59:50 EST


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

The shifting of buf[5] by 24 bits to the left will be promoted to
a 32 bit signed int and then sign-extended to an unsigned long. If
the top bit of buf[5] is set then all then all the upper bits sec
end up as also being set because of the sign-extension. Fix this by
casting buf[5] to an unsigned long before the shift.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1465292 ("Unintended sign extension")
