So, this patch changes the data type of 'val' from s16 to u16. It is safe to remove the extra sign extension, since the user of the function uses it to read a 10 unsigned value which will lead to the same result in both cases. Further this patch removes the unnecessary typecast for the simplification of code. In addition to this, initialization of 'val' to 0 is also dropped. This is due to the fact that not initializing helps the compiler provide useful warnings if the code gets changed to return an otherwise uninitialized result.
