[PATCH] ipv6: suppress sparse warnings in IP6_ECN_set_ce()

From: Johannes Berg <redacted>

Use the correct type for these manipulations, which is __wsum,
instead of using __be32. This doesn't really change anything
since __wsum really *is* __be32, but removes the address space
warnings from sparse.

Hmm... this is a bit convoluted.
Doing a OR operation on a __wsum seems strange to me.

What about something like that ?

No big deal, but this looks a bit cleaner to me.

Thanks.

Yeah, I was a bit torn.

I had exactly this originally, but then thought maybe using the right
type would be nicer. I'll send out this one again as v2, since you
prefer that.
