MY understanding here is that the static checker complains because you
are comparing a variable of unsigned type to negative values, and
indeed you are treating mdio_func as signed in the driver code.

mdio_func is defined as:

struct rzn1_pinctrl {
        ...
	u32 mdio_func[2];
        ...
};

Then in probe function mdio_func gets intialized as:

	ipctl->mdio_func[0] = -1;
	ipctl->mdio_func[1] = -1;

I think you could safely make mdio_func integers, or either define an
INVALID value ( > 0), intialize them it that value and check against it for
validity.

Thanks
