[PATCH] Need proper type casting before assignment, Remove compilation Warning.

-Return type of 'qe_muram_alloc' is 'unsigned long', That Was trying to
assigned in ucc_fast_tx_virtual_fifo_base_offset and
ucc_fast_rx_virtual_fifo_base_offset. These variable are 'unsigned int'.
So before assginment need a proper type casting.

-Passing value in IS_ERR_VALUE() is wrong, as they pass an 'int'
into a function that takes an 'unsigned long' argument.This happens
to work because the type is sign-extended on 64-bit architectures
before it gets converted into an unsigned type.

-Passing an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'argument into
IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are 8-bit integers
and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.

-Any user will get compilation warning for that do not pass an
unsigned long' argument.
