Removing lots of IS_ERR_VALUE abuses and compilation warning.

Yes, You are right,

-Now Return type of 'qe_muram_alloc' is 'unsigned long', That Was trying 
to assigned in member of this structure 'ucc_geth_private' . This 
structure variable are 'unsigned int'. So before assignment need a 
proper type casting.

-Passing value in IS_ERR_VALUE() is wrong. So this is also need a proper 
type casting before passing an argument.

      ugeth->tx_bd_ring_offset[j] =
-    qe_muram_alloc(length,
+    (u32)qe_muram_alloc(length, UCC_GETH_RX_BD_RING_ALIGNMENT);

-        if (!IS_ERR_VALUE(ugeth->rx_bd_ring_offset[j]))
+                       if (!IS_ERR_VALUE((unsigned 
long)ugeth->rx_bd_ring_offset[j]))



I have done the changes and re-submitted anther patch, Please review It.

Thanks,
Arvind
