Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 140/211] ALSA: dice: assign converted data to the same type of variable

4.2.8-ckt1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Sakamoto <o-takashi@...amocchi.jp>

commit cbc6f28067aa0aa1193c2bf3546430b2c4dae22c upstream.

In former commit, u32 data was assigned to __be32 variable instead of an
int variable. This is not enough solution because it still causes sparse
warnings.

dice.c:80:23: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
dice.c:80:23:    expected restricted __be32 [usertype] value
dice.c:80:23:    got unsigned int
dice.c:81:21: warning: restricted __be32 degrades to integer
dice.c:81:46: warning: restricted __be32 degrades to integer

This commit fixes this bug.

Fixes: 7c2d4c0cf5ba('ALSA: dice: Split transaction functionality into a file')
