Subject: [PATCH 1/3] netdevice: change net_device->promiscuity/allmulti to unsigned int

From: Wang Chen <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2008 17:14:53 +0800

The comments of dev_set_allmulti/promiscuity() is that "While the count in
the device remains above zero...". So negative count is useless.
Fix the type of the counter from "int" to "unsigned int".
