[PATCH] Input: atmel_mxt_ts - Set byte_offset as signed

From: Ricardo Ribalda

Date: Mon May 04 2026 - 06:55:18 EST


The calculations done to obtain byte_offset can result into a negative
number, fix its type.

This patch fixes the following sparse error:

drivers/input/touchscreen/atmel_mxt_ts.c:1481:44: warning: unsigned value that used to be signed checked against zero?
drivers/input/touchscreen/atmel_mxt_ts.c:1479:49: signed value source
