Subject: [PATCH 3.12 32/56] hwmon: (lm78) Fix overflow problems seen when writing large temperature limits

From: Guenter Roeck <linux@...ck-us.net>

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

===============

commit 1074d683a51f1aded3562add9ef313e75d557327 upstream.

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