[PATCH] net: starfire: fix ioaddr sign-extension causing ioremap() failure

From: Ivy Lopez

Date: Sat Aug 15 2026 - 15:26:26 EST


ioaddr is declared as a signed long, but is assigned the result of
pci_resource_start(), which returns an unsigned resource_size_t.
On configurations where the BAR address has its high bit set, the
value sign-extends when passed to ioremap(), producing a bogus
64-bit address and causing device probe to fail:

ioremap: invalid physical address fffffffffe480000
starfire 0000:08:04.0: cannot Remap 0x80000 @ 0xfe480000, aborting

Change ioaddr to unsigned long so pci_resource_start()'s value is
preserved correctly.
