When building macb on x86_64 the following warnings show up:
  drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb.c: In function macb_interrupt:
  drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb.c:556:4: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Woverflow]

...

-			macb_writel(bp, IDR, ~0UL);
+			macb_writel(bp, IDR, -1);

Seems wrong to fix an error with an unsigned value
by using -1.

-1 is equally an unsigned value of all 1's and completely legitimate.
The correction being made here is one of size not signedness.
