Subject: [PATCH] am65-cpsw: avoid null pointer arithmetic

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

clang warns about arithmetic on NULL pointers:

drivers/net/ethernet/ti/am65-cpsw-ethtool.c:71:2: error: performing pointer subtraction with a null pointer has undefined behavior [-Werror,-Wnull-pointer-subtraction]
        AM65_CPSW_REGDUMP_REC(AM65_CPSW_REGDUMP_MOD_NUSS, 0x0, 0x1c),
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/ti/am65-cpsw-ethtool.c:64:29: note: expanded from macro 'AM65_CPSW_REGDUMP_REC'
        .hdr.len = (((u32 *)(end)) - ((u32 *)(start)) + 1) * sizeof(u32) * 2 + \
                                   ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The expression here is easily changed to a calculation based on integers
that is no less readable.
