3.16.84-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> commit eb368de6de32925c65a97c1e929a31cae2155aee upstream. The "mode" variable is an enum and in this context GCC treats it as an unsigned int so the error handling is never triggered.
