Subject: Coverity: vgxy61_detect(): Control flow issues

Hello!

This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by
Coverity from a scan of next-20221110 as part of the linux-next scan project:
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan

You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified
lines of code (noted below) that were touched by commits:

Thu Oct 27 14:37:38 2022 +0300
153e4ad44d60 ("media: i2c: Add driver for ST VGXY61 camera sensor")

Coverity reported the following:

*** CID 1527257: Control flow issues (NO_EFFECT)
drivers/media/i2c/st-vgxy61.c:1679 in vgxy61_detect()
1673 struct i2c_client *client = sensor->i2c_client;
1674 u16 id = 0;
1675 int ret;
1676 u8 st;
1677
1678 id = vgxy61_read_reg(sensor, VGXY61_REG_MODEL_ID);
vvv CID 1527257: Control flow issues (NO_EFFECT)
vvv This less-than-zero comparison of an unsigned value is never true. "id < 0".
1679 if (id < 0)
1680 return id;
1681 if (id != VG5661_MODEL_ID && id != VG5761_MODEL_ID) {
1682 dev_warn(&client->dev, "Unsupported sensor id %x\n", id);
1683 return -ENODEV;
1684 }

If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as
such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make
sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please
include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):
