3.5.7.3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mark Brown <broonie at opensource.wolfsonmicro.com>

commit db04328c167ff8e7c57f4a3532214aeada3a82fd upstream.

If count is less than the size of a register then we may hit integer
wraparound when trying to move backwards to check if we're still in
the buffer. Instead move the position forwards to check if it's still
in the buffer, we are unlikely to be able to allocate a buffer
sufficiently big to overflow here.

[ herton: on 3.5, code is in regmap_map_read_file, and size in tot_len ]
