[PATCH] drivers/block/xsysace - revert "id" type from "u32" back to "int"

From: Alexey Brodkin
Date: Thu Feb 07 2013 - 08:06:03 EST


On addition of new device specified in devicetree device's "id" is set
by default to "-1" (it's in "of_device_add").

During probing of xsysace itself driver wants to determine his instance
number (used later for example for device naming). It is done simply by
reading "dev->id" (which is "-1" by default).

Then driver tries to get "id" from devicetree description reading
specific "port-number" property with "of_property_read_u32". And if no
property "port-number" was found "id" won't be changed (so if it was
"-1" it remains the same).

And later we check it with "if (id < 0) id = 0;" to escape negative
values.

But if "id" is "u32" it's always > 0 and later this value "-1" is used
for example for generation of device name. And instead of "xsa" it will
be "xs'" (ASCII "'" is "a" - 1). Which I believe is not expected.
