Hello Hao Chang,

Commit 3ef9f710efcb ("pinctrl: mediatek: Add EINT support for
multiple addresses") from Mar 22, 2025 (linux-next), leads to the
following Smatch static checker warning:

	drivers/pinctrl/mediatek/pinctrl-mtk-common-v2.c:384 mtk_build_eint()
	warn: error code type promoted to positive: 'count_reg_names'

drivers/pinctrl/mediatek/pinctrl-mtk-common-v2.c
    374                 return 0;
    375 
    376         if (!of_property_read_bool(np, "interrupt-controller"))
    377                 return -ENODEV;
    378 
    379         hw->eint = devm_kzalloc(hw->dev, sizeof(*hw->eint), GFP_KERNEL);
    380         if (!hw->eint)
    381                 return -ENOMEM;
    382 
    383         count_reg_names = of_property_count_strings(np, "reg-names");
--> 384         if (count_reg_names < hw->soc->nbase_names)

count_reg_names is type int but hw->soc->nbase_names is unsigned int.  So
if of_property_count_strings() returns a negative error code then it's
type promoted as a high positive unsigned int value and treated as success.

    385                 return -EINVAL;
    386 
    387         hw->eint->nbase = count_reg_names - hw->soc->nbase_names;

hw->eint->nbase is a u8 so the negative value is truncated to a low positive
value.

    388         hw->eint->base = devm_kmalloc_array(&pdev->dev, hw->eint->nbase,
    389                                             sizeof(*hw->eint->base), GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO);

This allocation will always succeed.
