[PATCH net] enetc: Avoid implicit sign extension

From: Claudiu Manoil <claudiu.manoil@nxp.com>
Date: 2021-03-29 13:36:25
Subsystem: freescale enetc ethernet drivers, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Claudiu Manoil, Vladimir Oltean, Wei Fang, Clark Wang, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Static analysis tool reports:
"Suspicious implicit sign extension - 'flags' with type u8 (8 bit,
unsigned) is promoted in 'flags' << 24 to type int (32 bits, signed),
then sign-extended to type unsigned long long (64 bits, unsigned).
If flags << 24 is greater than 0x7FFFFFFF, the upper bits of the result
will all be 1."

Use lower_32_bits() to avoid this scenario.
