The `val` variable is set to -1 and compared against < 0, which means it's assumed to be signed. However, soon char is to become unsigned tree-wide. So explicitly mark `val` as signed to that it keeps working the same way. Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@xxxxxxxxx> --- Geert - Linus asked me to consolidate all of the unsigned-char fixups in one tree. So, unless you plan on taking this for 6.1, I'll queue it up in that tree for 6.2, following your ack. -Jason
Thanks for your patch!

LGTM, although this could just use "int" instead. Upon closer look, this function is not used, and seems to have never been used before. Please just remove it instead. Thanks!
