Define the ch_mask argument of sdw_ch_mask_to_ch() as an unsigned so that the shift right is guaranteed to eventually make the value of ch_mask==0. Previously ch_mask was defined as a signed int, but a right shift of a signed value preserves the sign bit. So if the sign bit was 1, ch_mask would never become 0 and the for loop would be infinite.
