[PATCH] wifi: cisco: do not assign -1 to unsigned char

From: Jason A. Donenfeld
Date: Mon Oct 24 2022 - 14:14:35 EST


With char becoming unsigned by default, and with `char` alone being
ambiguous and based on architecture, we get a warning when assigning the
unchecked output of hex_to_bin() to that unsigned char. Mark `key` as a
`u8`, which matches the struct's type, and then check each call to
hex_to_bin() before casting.
