From: Changming Liu <charley.ashbringer@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2b53a19284f537168fb506f2f40d7fda40a01162 ] The char buffer buf, receives data directly from user space, so its content might be negative and its elements are left shifted to form an unsigned integer. Since left shifting a negative value is undefined behavior, thus change the char to u8 to elimintate this UB.
