gcc cannot prove that the value of sdata->vif.type does not change between the switch() statement and the second comparison to NL80211_IFTYPE_AP, causing a harmless warning. Slightly reordering the code makes the warning go away with no functional change. Without this patch, building ARM at91sam9g45_defconfig with gcc-4.6 results in: net/mac80211/tx.c: In function 'ieee80211_subif_start_xmit': net/mac80211/tx.c:1797:22: warning: 'chanctx_conf' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Johannes Berg <johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "John W.
