Subject[PATCH v2] serial: mxs-auart: Fix potential infinite loop
Date
On the error path of mxs_auart_request_gpio_irq() is performed
backward iterating with index i of enum type. Underline enum type
may be unsigned char. In this case check (--i >= 0) will be always
true and error handling goes into infinite loop.

The patch changes the check so that it is valid for signed and unsigned
types.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

v2: mistype in patch as result of combination of different fixes.
Change comment and leave enum type.
