[PATCH] irqchip/gic: Fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds in GIC helpers

Hi,

When running a kernel built with UBSAN enabled, enabling a GPIO
controller that uses a GIC interrupt as its parent triggers several
shift-out-of-bounds warnings in the GIC helpers.

This patch fixes the issue by using unsigned constants so that the
left shifts are well-defined and UBSAN stays quiet.

Thanks,
Zhu Ling

Subject: [PATCH] irqchip/gic: Fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds in GIC helpers

When running with UBSAN enabled, enabling a GPIO controller that uses
a GIC interrupt as its parent triggers several shift-out-of-bounds
warnings:

  UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-common.c:50:21
  left shift of 2 by 30 places cannot be represented in type 'int'

and similar reports in gic_poke_irq() and gic_peek_irq() in
drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3.c.

These come from shifting signed integer constants. Use unsigned
constants (0x2U and 1U) so that the behavior is well-defined and the
UBSAN warnings go away.
