Subject: ALSA: au88x0: use explicitly signed char
From: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@xxxxxxxxx>
commit ee03c0f200eb0d9f22dd8732d9fb7956d91019c2 upstream.
With char becoming unsigned by default, and with `char` alone being
ambiguous and based on architecture, signed chars need to be marked
explicitly as such. This fixes warnings like:
sound/pci/au88x0/au88x0_core.c:2029 vortex_adb_checkinout() warn: signedness bug returning '(-22)'
sound/pci/au88x0/au88x0_core.c:2046 vortex_adb_checkinout() warn: signedness bug returning '(-12)'
sound/pci/au88x0/au88x0_core.c:2125 vortex_adb_allocroute() warn: 'vortex_adb_checkinout(vortex, (0), en, 0)' is unsigned
sound/pci/au88x0/au88x0_core.c:2170 vortex_adb_allocroute() warn: 'vortex_adb_checkinout(vortex, stream->resources, en, 4)' is unsigned
As well, since one function returns errnos, return an `int` rather than
a `signed char`.
