This commit message suggested by Dan Carpenter as below:
The rtllib_rx_assoc_resp() function has a signedness bug because it's
a declared as a u16 but it return -ENOMEM. When you look at it more
closely it returns a mix of error codes including 0xcafe, -ENOMEM, and
a->status which is WLAN_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED_AUTH_ALG. This is a mess.
Clean it up to just return standard kernel error codes. We can print
out the a->status before returning a regular error code. The printks
in the caller need to be adjusted as well.

V1->V2: reduce return random value; print its own error message.
V2->V3: change commit message; change s16 -> int.
V3->V4: add message suggested by in title.
