Subject[PATCH] net: dsa: fix negative loop bound error on for loop
Date
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

Currently the for-loop using an unsigned int for the loop counter
which is problematic when comparing it to the signed int count
This is an issue because if the signed int is negative then
the negative loop bound is implicitly cast to an unsigned int on
the comparison to loop counter i and will yield a very large value,
eventually causing an error when memmove/memcpy'ing outside the
allocated region pointed to by ndata.

Fix this by simply making the loop counter i a signed int;
