Gah; late night coding syndrome. Adding the missing cast in the first 
case only:

Subject: [PATCH v2] x86: Fix earlyprintk ttyS2/3

Quite a few platforms use ttyS2 for their serial-over-LAN, so fix early
printk support for ttyS2 and 3, avoiding the need to hard-code the IO 
port.

v2: Add missing unsigned cast to correct range check
