I do not know whether this is possible now or it will be possible one day
in the future.

Our tool assumed that this can happen according to the type (int).

Also, I can not find any driver that may suffer from this. Two examples
where negative cases are forbidden intentionally or unintentionally:
- drivers/sbus/char/openprom.c
- drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/omapfb/dss/dsi.c

Best regards,
Evgeny
