Subject: [PATCH] arm:fix negation of -2147483648 warning with UBSASN

From: Rohit Thapliyal <r.thapliyal@...sung.com>

Using gcc-6 and UBSAN enabled, we get the following warning:

=========================================================

In order to remove these warnings, it seems harmless to modify
the signed ints with unsigned long as a fix of negation of -2147483648 in signed int.
