[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: Kill check with no effect

[Richard Weinberger]

header.major is of type u8 and cannot be negative.

Detected by CoverityScan CID#1417858 ("Integer handling issues")

Fixes: f384b352cbf0 ("mtd: spi-nor: parse Serial Flash Discoverable
Parameters (SFDP) tables")

Cyrille,

I'm not sure what exactly you wanted to test.
Maybe it makes sense casting header.major to s8 before checking against < 0?

Thanks,

I guess you meant header.minor here.

Actually I hesitated between checking the exact match with one of the 3
major.minor pairs defined for each version of the JESD216 specification:

JESD216: 1.0
JESD216 rev A: 1.5
JESD216 rev B (the latest one): 1.6

I was wondering whether I should accept 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4
(unofficial) pairs too and also later versions, which should be backward
compatible with JESD216 rev B, like rev B is backward compatible with
rev A and so on...

Finally I've chosen to accept everything after 1.0 to give a chance to
next revisions to be supported as much as possible by the current code.
The major number should not change but actually the test upon the minor
value is useless as every unsigned number is greater than or equal to 0 ;)

So once Boris comment taken into account:

Acked-by: Cyrille Pitchen <cyrille.pitchen@wedev4u.fr>

Best regards,

Cyrille

Applied to the spi-nor/next branch of l2-mtd

I've replaced header.major by header.minor in the commit message as
reported by Boris.

Thanks!
