6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit ca5898222914f399797cea1aeb0ce77109ca2e62 upstream.
On my system the arithmetic done on the firmware numbers results in a negative number, but since the types are unsigned it gets interpreted as a large positive number.
The end result is that the firmware gets rejected and wifi is defunct.
Switch to signed types to handle this case correctly.
