1) Do not submit one giant patch modifying multiple drivers in one go
2) drivers/staging/rtl8723au is gone - had you followed 1), you wouldn't
   necessarily have had to respin this patch.
3) Consider if your changes, even if technically correct, actually
   improve the code (see below)

The use of the mask variable didn't cause any harm, and it was certainly
a lot nicer to read the way it was.

One word: Yuck!

Talk about obfuscating the code for the sake of obfuscation!

Getting rid of the casts would be nice, merging them into a giant
multi-line return line certainly isn't an improvement in my book. That
said, I will leave that to the maintainer of that driver to decide what
is preferred.
