[PATCH v2] gpio: Fix wrong pointer type in pca953x

From: Dirk Eibach
Date: Tue Feb 22 2011 - 08:28:13 EST


pca953x_get_alt_pdata() uses uint16_t* as result type for
of_get_property(), but numeric of values are u32.

Checking for negative values is bogus because of-property
values are unsigned by definition.

Changes since v1:
- removed bogus check for negative property values
