I'm working on a Smatch check that complains that addr->channel comes from the user and it might be negative. It actually can *not* be negative because we already checked that when we called ipmi_validate_addr() from handle_send_req(). Also it can't be greater than or equal to IPMI_MAX_CHANNELS because we already verified that as well. Although this change doesn't do anything, it's still a cleanup because it makes the checking consistent and also it silences the static analysis warnings.
