net-rsi: Reconsider usage of variable "vap_id" in rsi_send_mgmt_pkt()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I have taken another look at the implementation of the function "rsi_send_mgmt_pkt".
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_91x_pkt.c?id=e8c58e7a5a106c3d557fccd01cd4d1128f9bab38#n114

I find the following statement combination interesting there.

…
	u8 vap_id = 0;
…
	msg[7] |= cpu_to_le16(vap_id << 8);
…

I would appreciate a further clarification.
Does a shift operation for a variable which contains zero indicate an open issue?

Regards,
Markus
