From c6dbf554bc8a79c9caab3dbf891a33c19068f646 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Brownell Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2008 14:00:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] USB: cdc-acm: signedness fix Fix bogus assignment of "unsigned char *" to "char *": preserve unsignedness. These values are used directly as descriptor lengths when iterating through the buffer, so this *could* cause oddness that potentially includes oopsing. (IMO not likely, except as part of a malicious device...) Fix the bogus warning in CDC ACM which highlighted this problem (by showing a negative descriptor type). It uses the undesirable legacy err() for something that's not even an error; switch to use dev_dbg, and show descriptor types in hex notation to match the convention for such codes.
