Subject: [patch] Staging: rtl8712: signedness bug in init
Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2010 05:11:13 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101112051113.GF3533@bicker> (raw)
PollingCnt is 20 and that means we loop 20 times and then run the
timeout code. After the end of the loop PollingCnt should be -1 but
because it's an unsigned char, it's actually 255 and the timeout
code never runs.
