Subject: [PATCH] stm class: correct masterID range in setting via sysfs

The type of masterID is defined as 'unsigned int', theoretically one
can set masterID with a number larger than 'INT_MAX' as long as
'stm_data::sw_end' is larger than 'INT_MAX'.

Also, 'stm_data::start' and 'stm_data::end' is initialized in respective
drivers which should be able to use any value less than 'UINT_MAX' for
their masterIDs, of course including those values larger than 'INT_MAX',
but the current policy is wrongly assuming that masterIDs would not be
larger than 'INT_MAX'.  This patch just corrected that.
