Fix the following -Werror warning from clang 3.5.0, while building the ath kernel module:
sys/dev/ath/ath_hal/ar5212/ar5212_reset.c:2642:7: error: taking the absolute value of unsigned type 'unsigned int' has no effect [-Werror,-Wabsolute-value] if (abs(lp[0] * EEP_SCALE - target) < EEP_DELTA) { ^ sys/dev/ath/ah_osdep.h:74:18: note: expanded from macro 'abs' #define abs(_a) __builtin_abs(_a) ^ sys/dev/ath/ath_hal/ar5212/ar5212_reset.c:2642:7: note: remove the call to '__builtin_abs' since unsigned values cannot be negative sys/dev/ath/ah_osdep.h:74:18: note: expanded from macro 'abs' #define abs(_a) __builtin_abs(_a) ^ 1 error generated.
This warning occurs because both lp[0] and target are unsigned, so the subtraction expression is also unsigned, and calling abs() is a no-op.
However, the intention was probably to look at the absolute difference between the two unsigned quantities. Introduce a small static function to clarify what we're doing, and call that instead.
