As far as I can tell, from

http://www.computer-engineering.org/ps2mouse/

Under "Command Set" > "0xE9 (Status Request)"

the value 200 is a valid sample rate. Using unsigned char, rather than
signed char, for client->ps2 silences this warning.

If you look at the code of this fucntion we really use ps2_data as
signed in calculations, and this change would break that. While making
ps2_data u8 might be beneficial we'd need to rework mousedev_packet() to
use signed temporaries for dx, dy and dz before stufifng them into
ps2_data.

Thanks.
