From: Larry Finger Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
commit 8ea3819c0bbef57a51d8abe579e211033e861677 upstream.
The cordic routine for calculating sines and cosines that was added in commit 6f98e62a9f1b ("b43: update cordic code to match current specs") contains an error whereby a quantity declared u32 can in fact go negative.
This problem was detected by Priit Laes who is switching b43 to use the routine in the library functions of the kernel.
