[alsa-devel] [PATCH 1/2] soundwire: Fix a signedness bug

[Dan Carpenter]

"ret" is an int and "buf" is a u8.  sdw_read() returns negative error
codes which are truncated to the u8, 0-255 range before being stored as
an int.  It means that "ret" can't be less than zero.

Fixes: b0a9c37b0178 ("soundwire: Add slave status handling")
