6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: David Laight <David.Laight@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 4ead534fba42fc4fd41163297528d2aa731cd121 upstream. Since 'unsigned char/short' get promoted to 'signed int' it is safe to compare them against an 'int' value.
