[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH] blobmsg_json: handle conversion of large integers from JSON

[Florian Larysch]

Currently, libubox uses json_object_get_int when converting a JSON
document into a blobmsg. However, json-c stores integers as int64_t
values and may clamp the value when asked to return it as an int32_t.

Always use json_object_get_int64 and use a u32/u64 blobmsg value
depending on the magnitude of the returned value.
