Re: [PATCH] staging: wilc1000: use kernel define byte order macros

Thanks for taking a look, Dan. Sorry if I missed the mark here.

Can you tell me a bit more about the bug this would introduce?

I see that ieee80211_is_action is defined like this: static inline bool ieee80211_is_action(__le16 fc)

...and that buff[FRAME_TYPE_ID]is a u8 (since FRAME_TYPE_ID = 0).

Is there an issue with calling cpu_to_le16 on a u8 that isn't encountered by implicitly casting a u8 to __le16? Or am I
missing something else?

Regards,
Perry
