imx_uart assigns the return value of getopt_long() to a char variable. On systems that default to unsigned char (e.g. arm, aarch64, powerpc, s390) this causes the termination return value -1 to be read as 0xff and the option parsing loop never terminates, causing the program to get immediately stuck. Fix that by using an int which is the actual return type of getopt_long(). imx_usb already correctly uses int. Fixes boundarydevices#116. Signed-off-by: Anssi Hannula <anssi.hannula@bitwise.fi>
