#1651084 — [PATCH] Input: mousedev - fix implicit conversion warning

Clang warns:

drivers/input/mousedev.c:653:63: error: implicit conversion from 'int'
to 'signed char' changes value from 200 to -56
[-Wconstant-conversion]
  client->ps2[1] = 0x60; client->ps2[2] = 3; client->ps2[3] = 200;
                                                            ~ ^~~

As far as I can tell, from

http://www.computer-engineering.org/ps2mouse/

Under "Command Set" > "0xE9 (Status Request)"

the value 200 is a valid sample rate. An explicit cast silences this
warning.

If you look at the code of this fucntion we really use ps2_data as
signed in calculations, and this change would break that. While making
ps2_data u8 might be beneficial we'd need to rework mousedev_packet() to
use signed temporaries for dx, dy and dz before stufifng them into
ps2_data.

Thanks.

Is your recommendation then to stick with the simple cast as in V1 of
this patch, or stick with u8 and rework mousedev_packet()?

I think casts are often mysterious, so, unless we'll end up with worse
object code, I'd switch to u8 and temps.

#1652819 — [PATCH v4] Input: mousedev - fix implicit conversion warning

Clang warns:

drivers/input/mousedev.c:653:63: error: implicit conversion from 'int'
to 'signed char' changes value from 200 to -56
[-Wconstant-conversion]
  client->ps2[1] = 0x60; client->ps2[2] = 3; client->ps2[3] = 200;
                                                            ~ ^~~

As far as I can tell, from

http://www.computer-engineering.org/ps2mouse/

Under "Command Set" > "0xE9 (Status Request)"

the value 200 is a valid sample rate. Using unsigned char [], rather than
signed char [], for client->ps2 silences this warning.

Also moves some reused logic into a helper function.

What's new in v4:
* replace mousedev_limit_delta() with update_clamped() that also updates
  the ps2_data and delta values. The use of the temporary val should
  avoid integral conversion and promotion issues.
