Subject: [PATCH][next] net: phy: bcm54140: fix less than zero comparison on an unsigned

From: Colin Ian King <[email protected]>

Currently the unsigned variable tmp is being checked for an negative
error return from the call to bcm_phy_read_rdb and this can never
be true since tmp is unsigned. Fix this by making tmp a plain int.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unsigned compared against 0")

I thought 0 was unsigned?
