The shifting of the u8 integer returned fom ahc_inb(ahc, port+3) by 24 bits
to the left will be promoted to a 32 bit signed int and then sign-extended
to a u64. In the event that the top bit of the u8 is set then all then all
the upper 32 bits of the u64 end up as also being set because of the
sign-extension. Fix this by casting the u8 values to a u64 before the 24
bit left shift.
[ This dates back to 2002, I found the offending commit from the git
history git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git,
commit f58eb66c0b0a ("Update aic7xxx driver to 6.2.10...") ]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
