mac_to_intf() can return -1 when no device or function is found, but when
mac->dma_if is unsigned. The error wasn't noticed.

Good, but you might have to repost without the email trail above the
patch description. Normally putting it under the signed-off-by line
with three dashes between will make sure it doesn't get picked up by
the git tools.


Anyway, that's all up to Dave, if you end up reposting feel free to add:
