Signedness bugs may occur when using signed char for bitops, depending on if the highest bit is ever used.
Signed-off-by: Antoine Tenart <antoine.ten...@free-electrons.com> Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpen...@oracle.com> --- Dan reported a static checker warning: http://marc.info/?l=kernel-janitors&m=141218246222535&w=2 This patch fixes it. Instead of using sa->sa_data we now use dev->dev_addr (of type unsigned char *) to avoid possible signedness issues.
