[PATCH] wifi: rt2x00: use explicitly signed type for clamping

From: Jason A. Donenfeld
Date: Tue Oct 18 2022 - 16:27:51 EST


On some platforms, `char` is unsigned, which makes casting -7 to char
overflow, which in turn makes the clamping operation bogus. Instead,
deal with an explicit `s8` type, so that the comparison is always
signed, and return an s8 result from the function as well. Note that
this function's result is assigned to a `short`, which is always signed.
