[RFC: sound/i2c/cs8427] clang warns about cast to signed char

[Philipp K]

Hi,

I tried compiling the cs8247 sound module with clang and hit the
following warning:

sound/i2c/cs8427.c:141:31: warning: implicit conversion from 'int' to
'char' changes value from 160 to -96 [-Wconstant-conversion]
        data[0] = CS8427_REG_AUTOINC | CS8427_REG_CORU_DATABUF;
                ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

data is a char array, and CS8427_REG_AUTOINC is defined as 0x80 (dec
128) which is too big for a (signed) char.

Looking at other code in the same file, we usually use unsigned chars.

So is there a reason for data being signed in this case? Otherwise we
could just change data to unsigned char and be on the safe side.

If you want I can send in a patch.

Regards,
Philipp
