Subject: [PATCH 4.9 31/62] USB: legousbtower: fix a signedness bug in tower_probe()

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

[ Upstream commit fd47a417e75e2506eb3672ae569b1c87e3774155 ]

The problem is that sizeof() is unsigned long so negative error codes
are type promoted to high positive values and the condition becomes
false.
