int
ath5k_eeprom_mode_from_channel(struct ieee80211_channel *channel)
{
switch (channel->hw_value) {
case AR5K_MODE_11A:
return AR5K_EEPROM_MODE_11A;
case AR5K_MODE_11G:
return AR5K_EEPROM_MODE_11G;
case AR5K_MODE_11B:
return AR5K_EEPROM_MODE_11B;
default:
return -1;
}
}
I think we should just change that default to return 0 instead and add
an ATH5K_WARN there.
