staging: kpc2000: prevent underflow in cpld_reconfigure()

to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-next branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

This function should not allow negative values of "wr_val". If negatives are allowed then capping the upper bound at 7 is meaningless. Let's make it unsigned.
