Subject: re: wifi: rt2x00: add TX LOFT calibration for MT7620
Hi,
I noticed a signed / unsigned comparison warning when building
linux-next with clang. I believe it was introduced in the following commit:
commit dab902fe1d29dc0fa1dccc8d13dc89ffbf633881

wifi: rt2x00: add TX LOFT calibration for MT7620
The warning is as follows:
drivers/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2800lib.c:9472:15: warning: result
of comparison of constant -7 with expression of type 'char' is always
false [-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]
gerr = (gerr < -0x07) ? -0x07 : (gerr > 0x05) ? 0x05 : gerr;
~~~~ ^ ~~~~~
drivers/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2800lib.c:9476:15: warning: result
of comparison of constant -31 with expression of type 'char' is always
false [-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]
perr = (perr < -0x1f) ? -0x1f : (perr > 0x1d) ? 0x1d : perr;
~~~~ ^ ~~~~~
The variables gerr and perr are declared as a char, which in this case
seems to be defaulting to signed on the clang build for x86-64 and hence
this warning. I suspect making it signed char will do the trick, but I
wanted to flag this up in-case there were some other issues with making
them signed.
