Hi, Greg
I feel so sorry for a uncertain patch. I'll learn closer and fix it.
After learning deeper, I think:

* First reason is that other functions which using "~crc32_le"
are all declaring "u8 crc[4];".
Only this function called "rtw_wep_encrypt" uses "unsigned char crc[4];" to declare crc.
But anothor function called "rtw_wep_decrypt" uses "u8 crc[4];" to declare.
I think it is confusing and the declaration should be unanimous.
* Second reason is that function "crc32_le(~0, payload, length);" returns u32,
so u8[4] is described u32.
* Third reason is that later function called "arc4_crypt" using "const *u8" as parameter.
So I think this change is reasonable.

This change might be wrong totally. I feel sorry for this.
arc4_crypt need "const *u8" as parameter, so crc should be type "const *u8".
But it use "__le32", so in my opinion, it should be
*((u32 *)crc) = ~crc32_le(~0, payload, length);

If we want to keep cpu value, we should fix it like this:
*((u32 *)crc) =~crc32_le(~0, payload, length - 4);
If we want to keep le32 value, we should fix it like this:
*((__le32 *)crc) = cpu_to_le32(~crc32_le(~0, payload, length - 4));
These fix are all solve the warnings.
The problem is which one should I choose to meet the author's wishes.
And in this situation, it is hard to choose which one is better, as after this line, the function return directly.

I think new patch is better, ;).
Please review.
