RE: [PATCH][V2] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: avoid unintended sign extension on a 16 bit shift

The shifting of timehi by 16 bits to the left will be promoted to
a 32 bit signed int and then sign-extended to an u64. If the top bit
of timehi is set then all then all the upper bits of ns end up as also
being set because of the sign-extension. Fix this by making timehi and
timelo u64.  Also move the declaration of ns.

This seems to be somewhat excessive 64bit maths on a 32bit system.
It is more than enough to make timelo/timehi 'unsigned int'.
