[PATCH v2] ethtool: avoiding integer overflow in ethtool_phys_id()

From: Maxim Korotkov
Date: Tue Nov 22 2022 - 01:55:22 EST


The value of an arithmetic expression "n * id.data" is subject
to possible overflow due to a failure to cast operands to a larger data
type before performing arithmetic. Used macro for multiplication instead
operator for avoiding overflow.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
