When a PHY is probed, if the top bit is set, we end up requesting a
module with the string "mdio:-10101110000000100101000101010001" -
the top bit is printed to a signed -1 value. This leads to the module
not being loaded.

Fix the module format string and the macro generating the values for
it to ensure that we only print unsigned types and the top bit is
always 0/1. We correctly end up with
"mdio:10101110000000100101000101010001".

History
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.
