Negative constant left-shift is undefined behaviour in the C standard, and as such newer versions of clang (at least) warn against it. GCC supports it for a long time, but it would be better to remove it and rely on defined behaviour. My understanding is "~(-1 << N)" in 2's complement is intended to generate a bit pattern of zeroes ending with N '1' bits. The same can be achieved by "(1 << N) - 1" in a well-defined way, so switch to it to remove the warning. Tested: building a kernel with generic SCSI tape, and checking basic operations (mt status, mt eject) on a real LTO unit. Cannot test the osst driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
