Subject: [PATCH][next] net: hinic: fix comparison of a uint16_t type with -1

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The comparison of hw_ioctxt.rx_buf_sz_idx == -1 is always false because
rx_buf_sz_idx is a uint16_t. Fix this by explicitly casting -1 to uint16_t.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1454559 ("Operands don't affect result")
