[PATCH] mei: bus: type promotion bug in mei_nfc_if_version()

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Wed Jul 04 2018 - 05:35:18 EST


We accidentally removed the check for negative returns without
considering the issue of type promotion. The "if_version_length"
variable is type size_t so if __mei_cl_recv() returns a negative then
"bytes_recv" is type promoted to a high positive value and treated as
success.
