Using a u16 pointer typecast for a result from htons() results in the following
warning from sparse:
drivers/staging/rtl8723au/core/rtw_xmit.c:1279:36: warning: incorrect type in
assignment (different base types)
drivers/staging/rtl8723au/core/rtw_xmit.c:1279:36: expected unsigned short
[unsigned] [short] [usertype] <noident>
drivers/staging/rtl8723au/core/rtw_xmit.c:1279:36: got restricted __be16
[usertype] <noident>
This patch fixes the issue by using an endian-specific typecast
that will always match the type returned by htons().
