Passing an 8-bit constant into delay() triggers a warning when building
with 'make W=1' using clang:

drivers/clk/actions/owl-pll.c:182:2: error: result of comparison of constant 2000 with expression of type 'u8' (aka 'unsigned char') is always false [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]
        udelay(pll_hw->delay);
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/arm/include/asm/delay.h:84:9: note: expanded from macro 'udelay'
          ((n) > (MAX_UDELAY_MS * 1000) ? __bad_udelay() :              \
           ~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/arm/mach-omap2/wd_timer.c:89:3: error: result of comparison of constant 2000 with expression of type 'u8' (aka 'unsigned char') is always false [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]
                udelay(oh->class->sysc->srst_udelay);
                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shut up the warning by adding a cast to a 64-bit number. A cast to 'int'
would usually be sufficient, but would fail to cause a link-time error
for large 64-bit constants.
