sysfs: remove signedness from sysfs_get_dirent
sysfs_get_dirent is usually invoked with a string literal, which have the type char[]. While the toplevel Makefile disables -Wpointer-sign, other Makefiles like arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile redefine KBUILD_CFLAGS. Fixes the warning: In file included from arch/x86/boot/compressed/kaslr.c:17: In file included from ./include/linux/module.h:17: In file included from ./include/linux/kobject.h:21: ./include/linux/sysfs.h:517:37: warning: passing 'const unsigned char *' to parameter of type 'const char *' converts between pointers to integer types with different sign [-Wpointer-sign] return kernfs_find_and_get(parent, name); ^~~~ ./include/linux/kernfs.h:462:57: note: passing argument to parameter 'name' here kernfs_find_and_get(struct kernfs_node *kn, const char *name) ^ Signed-off-by: Nick Desaulniers <nick.desaulniers@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
