Fix possible unintended sign extension in unsigned MMIO loads by casting
to uint16_t in the case of mmio_needed != 2.

Looks good to me. I wrote an MMIO test to reproduce the issue, and this
fixes it.

It looks suitable for stable too (3.10+).
This has reached mainline, commit ed9244e6c534612d2b5ae47feab2f55a0d4b4ced

Please could it be added to stable (3.10+).
It does not apply to 3.10 or 3.14-stable, so please provide a backport
if you want it there.

thanks,
