Re: [PATCH v3] ethtool: avoiding integer overflow in ethtool_phys_id()

The value of an arithmetic expression "n * id.data" is subject
to possible overflow due to a failure to cast operands to a larger data
type before performing arithmetic. Used macro for multiplication instead
operator for avoiding overflow.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Some notes to the process, not the code:

1) I asked to add my Reviewed-by to v3 in the previous thread, it's
   mandatory for authors to pick-up all the tags before publishing
   a new revision;
2) when sending v2, v3, ... vN, please have a changelog in the
   commit message or right below those '---' after your SoB, that
   makes it easier to review.

Thanks,
Olek
