What about BIT() macro? It's already defined in include/vdso/bits.h and
can be included via include/bits.h.
Most likely linux/ieee80211.h contains bits.h. Haven't checked yet, but
anyway redefining kernel macros is not good approach and BIT() can be
also removed.
This is a good observation, but the objective of my patch is to remove
unused defines so it will be easier to do the work that you mention. wifi.h
and ieee80211.h redefine a few kernel provided values, and I intend to
follow up by addressing all of them in one go.
Would you be willing to ack this patch as is?
I cannot ack, since I am not the maintainer (or even reviewer) of this
driver :) I just saw this BIT() definition and decided to say, that it
can be also removed
Just to be clear: I am not against this patch as is, since _any_ clean
up for this driver is important
Thanks
With regards,
