[Patch] Negative index in drivers/usb/host/isp116x-hcd.c

[Eric Sesterhenn <snakebyte@gmx.de>]

hi,

This fixes coverity Bug #390.

With the following code

	ret = ep->branch = balance(isp116x, ep->period, ep->load);
	if (ret < 0)
		goto fail;

the problem is that ret and balance are of the type int, and ep->branch is u16.
so the int balance() returns gets reduced to u16 and then converted to an int again,
which removes the sign. Maybe the following little c program can explain it better:


----snip----
int foo() {
	return -5;
}

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
	int a;
	unsigned short b;

	a = b = foo();
	if (a < 0)
		puts("case 1 works\n");

	b = a = foo();
	if (a < 0 )
		puts("case 2 works\n");
}
----snip----

only the case 2 output is visible.
