Subject: minmax: allow comparisons of 'int' against 'unsigned char/short'
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
minmax-allow-comparisons-of-int-against-unsigned-char-short.patch

Subject: minmax: allow comparisons of 'int' against 'unsigned char/short'
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2023 08:18:40 +0000
Since 'unsigned char/short' get promoted to 'signed int' it is safe to
compare them against an 'int' value.
