The mipi_dsi_generic_write_seq() macro makes a call to
mipi_dsi_generic_write() which returns a type ssize_t. The macro then
stores it in an int and checks to see if it's negative. This could
theoretically be a problem if "ssize_t" is larger than "int".
To see the issue, imagine that "ssize_t" is 32-bits and "int" is
16-bits, you could see a problem if there was some code out there that
looked like:
mipi_dsi_generic_write_seq(dsi, <32768 bytes as arguments>);
...since we'd get back that 32768 bytes were transferred and 32768
stored in a 16-bit int would look negative.
Though there are no callsites where we'd actually hit this (even if
"int" was only 16-bit), it's cleaner to make the types match so let's
fix it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
