[ Upstream commit 52f80bb181a9a1530ade30bc18991900bbb9697f ]
gcc warns about a memcpy() with overlapping pointers because of an
incorrect size calculation:
In file included from include/linux/string.h:369,
from drivers/ata/sata_sx4.c:66:
In function 'memcpy_fromio',

The problem here is the overflow of an unsigned 32-bit number to a
negative that gets converted into a signed 'long', keeping a large
positive number.
Replace the complex calculation with a more readable min() variant
that avoids the warning.

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.
