[PATCH 2.4.26] drivers/char/vt.c fix compiler warnings

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Sat May 15 2004 - 08:11:59 EST



The patch fixes the following warnings, produced by gcc3.3.3:

vt.c: In function `do_kdsk_ioctl':
vt.c:166: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data
type
vt.c: In function `do_kdgkb_ioctl':
vt.c:283: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data
type

s is a unsigned char, which can never be >= MAX_NR_KEYMAPS, as MAX_NR_KEYMAPS
= 256

tmp.kb_func is an unsigned char, which can never be > MAX_NR_FUNC, which is =
256

Maybe it is neccecary to change the types from unsigned char to uint8_t ?
