Subject: [PATCH v2] char: mwave: smapi: Fix signedness of SmapiOK variable
Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:40:18 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250417091018.29767-1-purvayeshi550@gmail.com> (raw)
Smatch warning:
drivers/char/mwave/smapi.c:69 smapi_request() warn:
assigning (-5) to unsigned variable 'usSmapiOK'
Fix Smatch warning caused by assigning -EIO to an unsigned short.
Smatch detected a warning due to assigning -EIO (a negative value) to an
unsigned short variable, causing a type mismatch and potential issues.
In v1, the type was changed to short, which resolved the warning, but
retained the misleading "us" prefix in the variable name.
In v2, update the type to s16 and rename the variable to SmapiOK,
removing the "us" (unsigned short) prefix as per Greg KH suggestion.
This change ensures type correctness, avoids confusion, and improves
overall code readability.

V2 - Use s16 type and rename variable to remove misleading "us" prefix.
