Since the function auth_parse returns a u16, and struct rtllib_authentication.status is defined as an __le16, it seems that return cpu_to_le16(a->status); should be return le16_to_cpu(a->status); This change silences the following sparse warnings: drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_softmac.c:1817:16: warning: cast from restricted __le16 drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_softmac.c:1817:16: warning: incorrect type in return expression (different base types) drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_softmac.c:1817:16: expected unsigned short drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_softmac.c:1817:16: got restricted __le16 [usertype] <noident> Signed-off-by: Arno Tiemersma <arno.tiemersma@xxxxxxxxx> --- v2 since I did not have the right e-mail address for Mateusz Kulikowski drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_softmac.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_softmac.c b/drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_softmac.c index 8f5e88b..98afd3b 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_softmac.c +++ b/drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_softmac.c @@ -1814,7 +1814,7 @@ static inline u16 auth_parse(struct sk_buff *skb, u8 **challenge, int *chlen) return -ENOMEM; } } - return cpu_to_le16(a->status); + return le16_to_cpu(a->status); } static int auth_rq_parse(struct sk_buff *skb, u8 *dest) -- 2.1.4 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
