net: stmmac: use unsigned int for eee_timer

Browse source

Since eee_timer is used to initialise priv->tx_lpi_timer, this also
should be unsigned to avoid a negative number being interpreted as a
very large positive number. Note that this makes the check for negative
numbers passed in as a module parameter redundant, and passing a
negative number will now produce a large delay rather than the
default. Since the default is used without an argument, passing a
negative number would be quite obscure. However, if users do, then
this will need to be revisited.
