Subject: intel_scu_ipcutil: underflow in scu_reg_access()

From: Dan Carpenter <[email protected]>

commit b1d353ad3d5835b16724653b33c05124e1b5acf1 upstream.

"count" is controlled by the user and it can be negative. Let's prevent that by making it unsigned. You have to have CAP_SYS_RAWIO to call this function so the bug is not as serious as it could be.
