Subject: [PATCH] Signdness issue in drivers/video/intelfb/intelfbdrv.c

hi,

another gcc 4.1 signess warning:

drivers/video/intelfb/intelfbdrv.c:419: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false

since dinfo->mtrr_reg is of the type u32, the error check dinfo->mtrr_reg < 0
is useless. This patch introduces a helper variable, which catches possible
negative error values returned by mtrr_add()
