Subject: [PATCH 4.19 050/125] USB: sisusbvga: Fix a potential UB casued by left shifting a negative value

From: Changming Liu <charley.ashbringer@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 2b53a19284f537168fb506f2f40d7fda40a01162 ]

The char buffer buf, receives data directly from user space,
so its content might be negative and its elements are left
shifted to form an unsigned integer.

Since left shifting a negative value is undefined behavior, thus
change the char to u8 to elimintate this UB.
