Subject: [PATCH 3.16 042/254] can: kvaser_usb: Fix comparison bug in
 kvaser_usb_read_bulk_callback()

3.16.55-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jimmy Assarsson <jimmyassarsson@...il.com>

commit e84f44eb5523401faeb9cc1c97895b68e3cfb78d upstream.

The conditon in the while-loop becomes true when actual_length is less than
2 (MSG_HEADER_LEN). In best case we end up with a former, already
dispatched msg, that got msg->len greater than actual_length. This will
result in a "Format error" error printout.

Problem seen when unplugging a Kvaser USB device connected to a vbox guest.

warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions
[-Wsign-compare]
