[linux-3.16-rc5/drivers/staging/media/davinci_vpfe/dm365_ipipeif.c:210]:
(style) Checking if unsigned variable 'val' is less than zero.
val = get_oneshot_mode(ipipeif->input);
if (val < 0) {
pr_err("ipipeif: links setup required");
return -EINVAL;
}
but
static int get_oneshot_mode(enum ipipeif_input_entity input)
Introduced temporary variable for negativity check.
"val" is afterwards used in a lot of bitwise operations, so changing its type
to signed is not safe, according to CERT C Secure Coding Standards chapter
INT13-C: "Use bitwise operators only on unsigned operands"
