We should change ips_deny_time to unsigned long, the rtl8723bs driver did this as well. ips_deny_time is used in these places 11 92 drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_pwrctrl.c <<rtw_pwr_unassociated_idle>> if (adapter->pwrctrlpriv.ips_deny_time >= jiffies) 12 363 drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_pwrctrl.c <<_rtw_pwr_wakeup>> if (pwrpriv->ips_deny_time < jiffies + rtw_ms_to_systime(ips_deffer_ms)) 13 364 drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_pwrctrl.c <<_rtw_pwr_wakeup>> pwrpriv->ips_deny_time = jiffies + rtw_ms_to_systime(ips_deffer_ms); 14 399 drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_pwrctrl.c <<_rtw_pwr_wakeup>> if (pwrpriv->ips_deny_time < jiffies + rtw_ms_to_systime(ips_deffer_ms)) 15 400 drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_pwrctrl.c <<_rtw_pwr_wakeup>> pwrpriv->ips_deny_time = jiffies + rtw_ms_to_systime(ips_deffer_ms); rtw_ms_to_systime converts milliseconds to jiffies and returns u32. We should use msecs_to_jiffies instead, this functions returns unsigned long. Do you want to have a go at this? Best regards, Martin
