[PATCH] mmc: sdhci: make tuning_err a signed int

[haibo.chen@oss.nxp.com]

From: Haibo Chen <haibo.chen@nxp.com>

Coverity report INTEGER_OVERFLOW for host->tuning_err.
The tuning_err field in struct sdhci_host is used to store an error
code for re-tuning, but it was declared as unsigned int. Several call
sites store negative error codes into it and later compare against
negative values:

  - sdhci.c, sdhci-of-dwcmshc.c and sdhci-pci-gli.c assign it the
    return value of __sdhci_execute_tuning()/__sdhci_execute_tuning_9750(),
    both of which return a signed int (possibly a negative errno);
  - sdhci-of-esdhc.c assigns host->tuning_err = -EAGAIN and later does
    "ret = host->tuning_err; if (ret == -EAGAIN ...)";
  - sdhci-of-dwcmshc.c prints it with the %d (signed) conversion.

Storing a negative errno in an unsigned int and reading it back as a
signed int only happens to work because of two's-complement, same-width
integer conversions. It is misleading and triggers sign-conversion
warnings. All users treat the value either as a signed error code or as
a boolean (zero / non-zero), so changing the type to a signed int is
safe and makes the intent explicit.
