Subject: [PATCH][next] net: usb: asix: ax88772: Fix less than zero comparison of a u16
Date: Tue,  8 Jun 2021 15:58:23 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210608145823.159467-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The comparison of the u16 priv->phy_addr < 0 is always false because
phy_addr is unsigned. Fix this by assigning the return from the call
to function asix_read_phy_addr to int ret and using this for the
less than zero error check comparison.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unsigned compared against 0")
Fixes: e532a096be0e ("net: usb: asix: ax88772: add phylib support")
