[patch] tty: mxser: forever loops on error

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Tue Apr 09 2013 - 01:20:51 EST


There were a couple signedness bugs decrementing "i" which would lead to
a forever loops.

I've made a couple other variables signed as well because they are all
related array offsets and it would be weird if they weren't the same
type.
