From 33bab1045773dea9f1bac24569a7f4e29072fd20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Brandt Date: Fri, 3 Nov 2017 08:30:13 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] net: miiphybb: fix casting error Since the return value is a signed int, if the leading MSB of rdreg is a 1, it will get signed extended and will return a negative value which is an error even though we read the correct value.
