This series introduces the following new sparse/smatch complaints:

  CHECK   /home/johannes/sys/wireless/net/mac80211/rc80211_minstrel_ht.c
/home/johannes/sys/wireless/net/mac80211/rc80211_minstrel_ht.c:246:18: warning: cast to restricted __le16
/home/johannes/sys/wireless/net/mac80211/rc80211_minstrel_ht.c:1227:49: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different base types)
/home/johannes/sys/wireless/net/mac80211/rc80211_minstrel_ht.c:1227:49:    expected unsigned short [unsigned] [usertype] mcs_map
/home/johannes/sys/wireless/net/mac80211/rc80211_minstrel_ht.c:1227:49:    got restricted __le16 [usertype] tx_mcs_map

Here it looks like the argument to minstrel_get_valid_vht_rates() should
be declared __le16.

  CHECK   /home/johannes/sys/wireless/net/mac80211/rc80211_minstrel_ht_debugfs.c
/home/johannes/sys/wireless/net/mac80211/rc80211_minstrel_ht_debugfs.c:47 minstrel_ht_stats_dump() error: testing array offset 'i' after use.
/home/johannes/sys/wireless/net/mac80211/rc80211_minstrel_ht_debugfs.c:61 minstrel_ht_stats_dump() error: testing array offset 'i' after use.

Here I'm not sure, seems like it's a false positive maybe? The array
seems large enough for everything that's going on here.
