[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] multiboot: Use signed type for negative error numbers

[Kevin Wolf]

In mb_mod_length a return value is stored that is negative in error case. With
an unsigned type the check goes wrong.

[Qemu-devel] Patch mismerge (was: [PATCH] multiboot: Use signed type for negative error numbers)

[Kevin Wolf]

Hi Anthony,

the description of this patch made it into commit 5f370b1, but the
content of this commit is obviously nonsense (adds only an empty line).
It's still uint32_t in current master. Can you take the patch into your
queue once again? It should still apply cleanly.

Sorry, looks like you already did and it's just not pushed to master yet.
