Subject: [PATCH 2/2][next][V2] net: usb: asix: ax88772: Fix less than zero comparison of a u16
Date: Wed,  9 Jun 2021 11:24:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210609102448.182798-2-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210609102448.182798-1-colin.king@canonical.com>

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.

Fixes: 7e88b11a862a ("net: usb: asix: refactor asix_read_phy_addr() and handle errors on return")
Addresses-Coverity: ("Unsigned compared against 0")

V2: fix up return check.
