Subject: [patch 5/5] hysdn: fix writing outside the field on 64 bits

From: Pascal Terjan <pterjan@...driva.com>

ifa_local is assumed to be unsigned long which lead to writing the address
at dev->dev_addr-2 instead of +2

noticed thanks to gcc:

drivers/isdn/hysdn/hysdn_net.c: In function `net_open':
drivers/isdn/hysdn/hysdn_net.c:91: warning: array subscript is below array bounds
