Subject: [PATCH V4 2/2] PM / OPP: Fix static checker warning (broken 64bit big endian systems)

Dan Carpenter reported (generated with static checker):

drivers/base/power/opp.c:949 _opp_add_static_v2()
warn: passing casted pointer '&new_opp->clock_latency_ns' to
'of_property_read_u32()' 64 vs 32.

This code will break on 64 bit, big endian machines.

Fix this by reading the value in a u32 type variable first and then
assigning it to the unsigned long variable.

V3->V4:
- Assign values only if of_property_read_u32() is successful.
