Subject: [patch] misc/isl29020: signedness bug in als_sensing_range_store()
Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 06:40:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101028044037.GS6062@bicker> (raw)

"ret_val" is supposed to be signed here or the error handling breaks.
Also we should check the return value from i2c_smbus_read_byte_data().
