  Thu Oct 27 14:37:38 2022 +0300
    153e4ad44d60 ("media: i2c: Add driver for ST VGXY61 camera sensor")

Coverity reported the following:

*** CID 1527250:  Control flow issues  (NO_EFFECT)
drivers/media/i2c/st-vgxy61.c:1626 in vgxy61_patch()
1620
1621     	ret = vgxy61_poll_reg(sensor, VGXY61_REG_STBY, 0, VGXY61_TIMEOUT_MS);
1622     	if (ret)
1623     		return ret;
1624
1625     	patch = vgxy61_read_reg(sensor, VGXY61_REG_FWPATCH_REVISION);
vvv     CID 1527250:  Control flow issues  (NO_EFFECT)
vvv     This less-than-zero comparison of an unsigned value is never true. "patch < 0".
1626     	if (patch < 0)
1627     		return patch;
1628
1629     	if (patch != (VGXY61_FWPATCH_REVISION_MAJOR << 12) +
1630     		     (VGXY61_FWPATCH_REVISION_MINOR << 8) +
1631     		     VGXY61_FWPATCH_REVISION_MICRO) {

If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as
such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make
sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please
include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):
