Making 'blk' sector_t (i.e. 64 bit if LBD support is active)
fails the 'blk>0' test in the partition block loop if a
value of (signed int) -1 is used to mark the end of the
partition block list.
This bug was introduced in patch 3 of my prior Amiga partition
support fixes series, and spotted by Christian Zigotzky when
testing the latest block updates.
Explicitly cast 'blk' to signed int to allow use of -1 to
terminate the partition block linked list.

Please drop this line.
Because it's redundant, as I've also used Link:?
(That, too ;-)
Because the use of the Message-ID: tag in patches is not documented.
IIRC, it might also cause issues when applying, as the downloaded patch
will appear to have two Message-IDs.
I'm not sure the sample git hook in Documentation/maintainer/configure-git.rst
(and all variants the various maintainers are using) handles this correctly.
