[PATCH 12/13] drm/i2c/tda998x: Fix signed overflow issue

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is C standard hair-splitting, but afaict
- sum will be promoted to signed int in computation since
  uint8_t fits
- signed overflow is undefined.

No we need to add up an awful lot of bytes to actually make it
overflow. But I guess the real risk is gcc spotting this and going
bananas. Fix this by simply using unsigned in to force all computations
to use the well-defined unsigned behaviour.

Spotted by coverity.
