Subject: [BUG] arm64: Build error with gcc 6

Hello,

commit e1a50de37860 ("arm64: cputype: Silence Sparse warnings")
introduces "UL" suffix to a hex number, but it causes a build error with gcc-6 series.
I've hit below error with 6.2.1 and 6.4.1. Of course this is resolved by the latest
stable gcc-7.2.1. But from the compatibility point of view, should we revert it?

AS arch/arm64/kernel/head.o

I've checked with below 2 latest gccs.

The fix is pending:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git/commit/?h=fixes/core&id=04c4927359b1f09310bfee92e7187c9022be3e00

This is in Linus' tree now, so should be in -rc3.

Great! I used linux-next tree and hit above bug, so I'll use linus tree.

Thank you,
