This means that the helpers won't support controls that use the top bit of a 32 bit register.
Fine, I can delete the checks for negative instead (I'm surprised you haven't already received a dozen bot emails about this).
No, we need the checks for negatives since userspace supplies a signed value. The check needs to be done on the value in the input structure before we pull it out for mangling. I probably got bot emails but frankly these days almost all of them are some combination of barely legible and misdirected and there's plenty of people who like to fix these things if they're real.
I haven't been able to figure out where mc->min/max are set. In
They're the big tables of static assignments via macros in the drivers.
snd_soc_get_xr_sx() it checks whether "mc->min" is negative.
if (min < 0 && val > max) val |= ~mask;
Is that a bug? If mc->min is negative the math gets tricky.
No, it *is* valid if weird to have negative values for some controls.
