Explicitly cast xemaclite_readl return value when it's passed to ntohl.
Fixes below reported sparse warnings:

xilinx_emaclite.c:411:24: sparse: sparse: cast to restricted __be32
xilinx_emaclite.c:420:36: sparse: sparse: cast to restricted __be32

If i understand this code correctly, you need the ntohl because you
are poking around inside the packet. All the other uses of
xemaclite_readl() are for descriptors etc.

It would be cleaner if you defined a xemaclite_readlbe32. If you use
ioread32be() it will do the endinness swap for you, so you don't need
the ntohl() and the horrible cast.

Thanks for the review. Yes, defining xemaclite_readlbe32 would eliminate the
cast need.  I will address it in the next version.
