Remove left shift of negative values that always evaluate
to 0 to address build errors from the llvm/clang compiler
used in the XCODE5 tool chain.

The patch looks correct, but the commit message is not.

As you write in the BZ, DLAB is defined as

#define DLAB                    0x01

After macro expansion, the value 0x01 has type "int".

On all edk2 platforms, "int" has 1 sign bit, 31 value bits, 0 padding
bits, and the representation is two's complement. After applying the
bit-neg operator (which is itself *not* undefined), the result has value
-2 (bit pattern 0xFFFF_FFFE).

When "int" value (-2) is left-shifted, the behavior is undefined. This
is why clang complains (justifiedly).

The fact that all left-shifted nonzero bits would be thrown away anyway,
 due to the final conversion to UINT8, does not save the undefined
behavior in the left-shift of (-2). That argument would only matter if
we had:

  ~(UINT32)DLAB

or else DLAB were defined as

#define DLAB                    0x01u

So, I would put the commit message as follows:

----
Clang rightfully complains about left-shifting ~DLAB. DLAB is #defined
as 0x01 (an "int"), hence ~DLAB has value (-2) on all edk2 platforms.
Left-shifting a negative int is undefined behavior.

Rather than replacing ~DLAB with ~(UINT32)DLAB, realize that the nonzero
bits of (~(UINT32)DLAB << 7) would all be truncated away in the final
conversion to UINT8 anyway. So just remove (~DLAB << 7).

With a commit message like this,
