Please review, this patch was not tested.

The static function set_tvnorm is called in
drivers/media/video/bt8xx/bttv-driver.c:

1355:   set_tvnorm(btv, norm);
1868:   set_tvnorm(btv, i);
3273:   set_tvnorm(btv,btv->tvnorm);

in the first two with an unsigned, but bttv->tvnorm is signed.

see vi drivers/media/video/bt8xx/bttvp.h +381
since norm is unsigned in set_tvnorm, a negative won't get noticed.
so remove the redundant check and move it to the caller.

My question is: should we error return like this?

Probably better to just change bttv->tvnorm is unsigned if we can.
