b44: Truncate PHY address
Some ROMs on embedded devices store incorrect values for the PHY address of the ethernet device. It looks like the number is sign-extended. Truncate the value by applying the PHY-address mask to it. The patch was tested on a bcm47xx embedded system (where the bug triggers) and a bcm4400 PCI card. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
