Subject: [PATCH 3.18 06/23] atm: zatm: fix memcmp casting

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

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

From: Ivan Bornyakov <brnkv.i1@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit f9c6442a8f0b1dde9e755eb4ff6fa22bcce4eabc ]

memcmp() returns int, but eprom_try_esi() cast it to unsigned char. One
can lose significant bits and get 0 from non-0 value returned by the
memcmp().
