This patch fixes the following Sparse warnings in ks_wlan_net.c:
drivers/staging/ks7010/ks_wlan_net.c:1359:24: warning: cast to restricted __le16
Both sides of assignment are u16 so (as 'ap' is local_ap_t type and
'capability' member,
have the same as local 'capabilities' type of u16) 'le16_to_cpu' is not needed
It could be that it's ap->capability's type that is wrong (not
annotated with __le16).
Isn't it?
Is ap->capability supposed to hold a little-endian value or a native
order value?
-- Luc
As I see in ks_hostif.c all assignments to link_ap_info_t->capability
threat this value as native order (i.e get_ap_information,
get_current_ap). As this is not a structure which comes from HW we can
do the way you suggested. Still, as all other places in code threats
this as native order value I decided to change only one place than many
other around to fix Sparse warning.
