From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The comparisons of the unsigned int hw_type to less than zero always false because it is unsigned. Fix this by using an int for the assignment and less than zero check. Addresses-Coverity: ("Unsigned compared against 0") Fixes: 9d2df9a0ad80 ("ipmi: kcs_bmc_aspeed: Implement KCS SerIRQ configuration") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/char/ipmi/kcs_bmc_aspeed.c | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/char/ipmi/kcs_bmc_aspeed.c b/drivers/char/ipmi/kcs_bmc_aspeed.c index 0401089f8895..92a37b33494c 100644 --- a/drivers/char/ipmi/kcs_bmc_aspeed.c +++ b/drivers/char/ipmi/kcs_bmc_aspeed.c @@ -301,13 +301,15 @@ static inline int aspeed_kcs_map_serirq_type(u32 dt_type) static int aspeed_kcs_config_upstream_irq(struct aspeed_kcs_bmc *priv, u32 id, u32 dt_type) { unsigned int mask, val, hw_type; + int ret; if (id > 15) return -EINVAL; - hw_type = aspeed_kcs_map_serirq_type(dt_type); - if (hw_type < 0) - return hw_type; + ret = aspeed_kcs_map_serirq_type(dt_type); + if (ret < 0) + return ret; + hw_type = ret; priv->upstream_irq.mode = aspeed_kcs_irq_serirq; priv->upstream_irq.id = id; -- 2.31.1
