Subject: [PATCH] serial: mxs-auart: Fix potential infinite loop

On the error path of mxs_auart_request_gpio_irq() is performed
backward iterating with index i of enum type. Underline enum type
may be unsigned char. In this case check (--i >= 0) will be always
true and error handling goes into infinite loop.

The patch changes type of index variable to int.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
