| |
This error triggers on some architectures with unsigned `char` types:
drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_softmac_wx.c:459 rtllib_wx_set_essid() warn: impossible condition '(extra[i] < 0) => (0-255 < 0)'
But actually, the entire test is bogus, as ssids don't have any sign validity rules like that. So just remove this check look all together.
Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: linux-staging@lists.linux.dev Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com> --- Changes v1->v2: - Remove ssid sign test entirely rather than casting to `s8 *`.
