This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled wifi: airo: do not assign -1 to unsigned char to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: wifi-airo-do-not-assign-1-to-unsigned-char.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b0a0ea58e25de08c51f3afb1497ded9f0477a49e Author: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Oct 24 18:28:43 2022 +0200 wifi: airo: do not assign -1 to unsigned char [ Upstream commit e6cb8769452e8236b52134e5cb4a18b8f5986932 ] With char becoming unsigned by default, and with `char` alone being ambiguous and based on architecture, we get a warning when assigning the unchecked output of hex_to_bin() to that unsigned char. Mark `key` as a `u8`, which matches the struct's type, and then check each call to hex_to_bin() before casting.
