[PATCH 4.2 174/258] extcon: Fix signedness bugs about break error handling

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sat Oct 17 2015 - 22:30:06 EST


4.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit a598af7f0279195abffbfb9bf2070457e9c89ff3 upstream.

Unsigned is never less than zero so this error handling won't work.

Fixes: be052cc87745 ('extcon: Fix hang and extcon_get/set_cable_state().')
