From: Tom Yan <tom.ty89@xxxxxxxxx> ata_mselect_*() would initialize a char array for storing a copy of the current mode page. However, char could be signed char. In that case, bytes larger than 127 would be converted to negative number. For example, 0xff from def_control_mpage[] would become -1. This prevented ata_mselect_control() from working at all, since when it did the read-only bits check, there would always be a mismatch.
