[PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: cast EEPROM_DEFAULT_DIFF to s8
From: Ivy Lopez
Date: Sat Aug 15 2026 - 15:11:00 EST
EEPROM_DEFAULT_DIFF is defined as the bare integer literal 0xFE
(254) but is only ever assigned into s8 (signed char) fields used
to store signed TX power calibration offsets. The implicit
truncation to -2 is intentional. BW20/BW40/CCK/OFDM_Diff fields
elsewhere in the same file already sign-extend 4-bit values into
8-bit signed offsets by hand, so -2 is consistent with that
existing pattern but the untyped macro doesn't communicate this,
and triggers -Wconversion at every one of its 8 use sites in
rtl8723b_hal_init.c.
Cast the macro to s8 at its definition so the sign truncation is
explicit and documented in one place instead of relying on implicit
conversion at each call site.
No functional change.
