Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: rtl8192e: remove bogus ssid character sign test
Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2022 14:21:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221025122150.583617-1-Jason@zx2c4.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Y1e+SmS3O2ZaPVoe@kroah.com>

This error triggers on some architectures with unsigned `char` types:

drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_softmac_wx.c:459 rtllib_wx_set_essid() warn: impossible condition '(extra[i] < 0) => (0-255 < 0)'

But actually, the entire test is bogus, as ssids don't have any sign
validity rules like that. So just remove this check look all together.

Changes v1->v2:
- Remove ssid sign test entirely rather than casting to `s8 *`.
