The "port->typec_caps.data" and "port->typec_caps.type" variables are
enums and in this context GCC will treat them as an unsigned int so they
can never be less than zero.

Doesn't that also cause a warning about overwriting error return codes ?

I'm happy that you think there is a tool which generates warnings like
that but it's just people manually complaining. :P


I am quite sure there is, or at least used to be - I have seen such warnings.
Maybe it was removed.
