Subject: [PATCH 4.9 167/199] firmware: qcom: scm: Ensure a0 status code is treated as signed

From: Will Deacon <will@...nel.org>

commit ff34f3cce278a0982a7b66b1afaed6295141b1fc upstream.

The 'a0' member of 'struct arm_smccc_res' is declared as 'unsigned long',
however the Qualcomm SCM firmware interface driver expects to receive
negative error codes via this field, so ensure that it's cast to 'long'
before comparing to see if it is less than 0.
