[PATCH 3.16 068/136] USB: legousbtower: fix a signedness bug in tower_probe()

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon Dec 16 2019 - 19:51:50 EST


3.16.80-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit fd47a417e75e2506eb3672ae569b1c87e3774155 upstream.

The problem is that sizeof() is unsigned long so negative error codes
are type promoted to high positive values and the condition becomes
false.
