[PATCH 07/10] nvmem: core: Fix unintentional sign extension issue

[Srinivas Kandagatla]

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

The shifting of the u8 integer buf[3] by 24 bits to the left will
be promoted to a 32 bit signed int and then sign-extended to a
u64. In the event that the top bit of buf[3] is set then all
then all the upper 32 bits of the u64 end up as also being set
because of the sign-extension. Fix this by casting buf[i] to
a u64 before the shift.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unintended sign extension")
Fixes: 097eb1136ebb ("nvmem: core: Add functions to make number reading easy")
