With -Wsign-compare, compilers warn about a mismatching signedness in a comparison in fdt_setprop_inplace_namelen_partial(). fdt_getprop_namelen() will only return negative error values in "proplen" if the return value is NULL. So we can rely on "proplen" being positive in our case and can safely cast it to an unsigned type.
