Subject: Input: alps - fix compatibility with -funsigned-char
From: msizanoen <msizanoen@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 754ff5060daf5a1cf4474eff9b4edeb6c17ef7ab upstream.
The AlpsPS/2 code previously relied on the assumption that `char` is a
signed type, which was true on x86 platforms (the only place where this
driver is used) before kernel 6.2. However, on 6.2 and later, this
assumption is broken due to the introduction of -funsigned-char as a new
global compiler flag.
Fix this by explicitly specifying the signedness of `char` when sign
extending the values received from the device.
