Subject: [PATCH][V2] leds: TI LMU: fix u8 variable comparisons with less than zero

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The u8 variables ramp_ups and ramp_downs are being compared to less
than zero, this will always be false.  Fix this by making the ramp
variables ints.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unsigned compared against 0")
Fixes: 9a8e66ebeaa2 ("leds: TI LMU: Add common code for TI LMU devices")

V2: make u8 vars ints rather than removing the comparison. Thanks once
more to Dan Carpenter for spotting my clearly stupid V1 version and
correcting my mistake.
