USB: cdc-acm: signedness fix
Fix bogus assignment of "unsigned char *" to "char *": preserve unsignedness. These values are used directly as descriptor lengths when iterating through the buffer, so this *could* cause oddness that potentially includes oopsing. (IMO not likely, except as part of a malicious device...) Fix the bogus warning in CDC ACM which highlighted this problem (by showing a negative descriptor type). It uses the undesirable legacy err() for something that's not even an error; switch to use dev_dbg, and show descriptor types in hex notation to match the convention for such codes.
