Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH][next] ALSA: xen-front: fix unsigned error check on return from to_sndif_format

The negative error return from the call to to_sndif_format is being
assigned to an unsigned 8 bit integer and hence the check for a negative
value is always going to be false.  Fix this by using ret as the error
return and hence the negative error can be detected and assign
the u8 sndif_format to ret if there is no error.

Indeed. A typical assignment mistake. Instead, we could change the type of 'sndif_format' to signed int, however in this case it's not the same as the third argument of xen_snd_front_stream_prepare() because it is 'u8'. This patch looks good to me.
