[PATCH] firmware: fix async/manual firmware loading

From: Yves-Alexis Perez
Date: Sun Oct 30 2016 - 10:51:57 EST


From: Yves-Alexis Perez <corsac@xxxxxxxxxx>

wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() return value is either
-ERESTARTSYS (in case it was interrupted), 0 (in case the timeout expired)
or the number of jiffies left until timeout. The return value is stored in
a long, but in _request_firmware_load() it's silently casted to an int,
which can overflow and give a negative value, indicating an error.

Fix this by re-using the timeout variable and only set retval when it's
safe.
