Subject: [PATCH 4.19 578/639] net: netsec: Fix signedness bug in netsec_probe()

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

[ Upstream commit bd55f8ddbc437c225391ca8f487e7ec10243c4cc ]

The "priv->phy_interface" variable is an enum and in this context GCC
will treat it as an unsigned int so the error handling is never
triggered.
