Subject: [PATCH 3.16 233/254] mac80211_hwsim: fix compiler warning on MIPS

3.16.55-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Andrew Bresticker <abrestic@...omium.org>

commit 5d26b50813ea6206a7bbab2e645e68044f101ac5 upstream.

The dividend in do_div() is expected to be an unsigned 64-bit integer,
which leads to the following warning when building for 32-bit MIPS:

  drivers/net/wireless/mac80211_hwsim.c: In function 'mac80211_hwsim_set_tsf':
  drivers/net/wireless/mac80211_hwsim.c:664:98: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [enabled by default]
    data->bcn_delta = do_div(delta, bcn_int);

Since we care about the signedness of delta when adjusting tsf_offset
and bcm_delta, use the absolute value for the division and compare
the two timestamps to determine the sign.
