From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@xxxxxxxxxx> The field 'channel_number' from the structs hif_ind_rx and hif_req_start is a __le32. Sparse complains this field is not always correctly accessed: drivers/staging/wfx/data_rx.c:95:55: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types) drivers/staging/wfx/data_rx.c:95:55: expected int chan drivers/staging/wfx/data_rx.c:95:55: got restricted __le16 const [usertype] channel_number However, the value of channel_number cannot be greater than 14 (this device only support 2.4Ghz band). So, we only have to access to the least significant byte. It is finally easier to declare it as an array of bytes and only access to the first one.
