You're right.  Probably all the below should just be char.

$ grep -Pn "\bsigned\s+char\b" drivers/net/pch_gbe/*.[ch]
pch_gbe_ethtool.c:34:	signed char string[ETH_GSTRING_LEN];
pch_gbe_param.c:155:	signed char *name;
pch_gbe_param.c:156:	signed char *err;
pch_gbe_param.c:165:			struct pch_gbe_opt_list { int i; signed char *str; } *p;
