Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 228/251] cw1200: Fix a signedness bug in cw1200_load_firmware()

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

[ Upstream commit 4a50d454502f1401171ff061a5424583f91266db ]

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

Fixes: a910e4a94f69 ("cw1200: add driver for the ST-E CW1100 & CW1200 WLAN chipsets")
