Yes, the comment was wrong. Thanks.

OK, I added cast to "long", and a comment to why the cast was
introduced.
Subject: [MIPS] Workaround for a sparse warning in include/asm-mips/io.h (part
2)
Since CKSEG1ADDR() returns "signed int" (on 32bit), cast it to "long"
first to avoid misleading. Also add a comment why the cast to
"unsigned long" was introduced.
