From 37e9066b2f85480d99d3795373f5ef0b00ac1189 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: pancho horrillo Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2009 11:09:13 +0100 Subject: USB: Fix a bug on appledisplay.c regarding signedness brightness status is reported by the Apple Cinema Displays as an 'unsigned char' (u8) value, but the code used 'char' instead. Note that he driver was developed on the PowerPC architecture, where the two types are synonymous, which is not always the case. Fixed that. Otherwise the driver will interpret brightness levels > 127 as negative, and fail to load.
