This needs to be broken into 4-5 separate patches and sent as
series.  One patch per warning type.

Interesting...  You have preserved the meaning of the original code,
but actually the original code is buggy.  Just delete the
"if (erq->flags & IW_ENCODE_DISABLED)" check.  This bug was
introduced in de171bd6ff "Staging: rtl8187se: r8180_wx: fixed a lot
of checkptahc.pl issues".

Send that as a separate patch and mark it as a bugfix.
