Commit Message

Coverity complains (CID 1395628) that the multiply in the calculation
of the framebuffer base is performed as 32x32 but then used in a
context that takes a 64-bit hwaddr. This can't actually ever
overflow the 32-bit result, because of the constraints placed on
the s->config values in bcm2835_fb_validate_config(). But we
can placate Coverity anyway, by explicitly casting one of the
inputs to a hwaddr, so the whole expression is calculated with
64-bit arithmetic.

This is one of those cases where I was 50/50 about whether to just
mark the coverity issue as a false-positive.

Agreed, but in the end it's not too much noise, so
