Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mmc: cast unsigned int to typeof(sector_t) to avoid unexpected error

From: Kuninori Morimoto <kuninori.morimoto.gx@...esas.com>

card->csd.capacity is defined as "unsigned int",
and, sector_t is defined as "u64" or "unsigned long" (depends on CONFIG_LBDAF)
sector_t data might have strange data if first bit of unsigned int
was 1. this patch cast it to typeof(sector_t)

ex) if sector_t was u64

        unsigned int data;
        sector_t sector;

        data = 0x800000;
        sector = (data << 8); // 0xffffffff80000000
        sector = (((typeof(sector_t))data) << 8); // 0x80000000

or

        data = 0x80000000;
        sector = (data << 8); // 0x0
        sector = (((typeof(sector_t))data) << 8); // 0x8000000000
