[PATCH 2/2][next] net: usb: asix: ax88772: net: Fix less than zero comparison of a u16

From: Colin King
Date: Tue Jun 08 2021 - 11:23:23 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The comparison of the u16 priv->phy_addr < 0 is always false because
phy_addr is unsigned. Fix this by assigning the return from the call
to function asix_read_phy_addr to int ret and using this for the
less than zero error check comparison.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unsigned compared against 0")
Fixes: 7e88b11a862a ("net: usb: asix: refactor asix_read_phy_addr() and handle errors on return")
