3.13.11.7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Axel Lin <axel.lin@ingics.com>

commit 2565fb05d1e9fc0831f7b1c083bcfcb1cba1f020 upstream.

On platforms with sizeof(int) < sizeof(unsigned long), writing a rpm value
larger than MAXINT will result in unpredictable limit values written to the
chip. Avoid auto-conversion from unsigned long to int to fix the problem.
