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

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

From: Doug Anderson <dianders at chromium.org>

commit d3d89c468ceebbcf9423d1a3d66c5bf91f569570 upstream.

The ntc thermistor code was doing math whose temporary result might
have overflowed 32-bits.  We need some casts in there to make it safe.

In one example I found:
- pullup_uV: 1800000
- result of iio_read_channel_raw: 3226
- 1800000 * 3226 => 0x15a1cbc80
