There are certain conditional expressions in rtlwifi, where a boolean
variable is compared with true/false, in forms such as (foo == true) or
(false != bar), which does not comply with checkpatch.pl (CHECK:
BOOL_COMPARISON), according to which boolean variables should be
themselves used in the condition, rather than comparing with true/false

E.g., in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/ps.c,
"if (find_p2p_ie == true)" can be replaced with "if (find_p2p_ie)"

Replace all such expressions with the bool variables appropriately

As has been stated several times, this form of the subject is incorrect. It should be: "rtlwifi: <driver_name>: <subject>

I would prefer that there be separate patches for each driver, not that the changes be lumped into a single patch as was done here. Such organization makes it a lot easier to find the patches for a given driver in case something goes wrong.Note: The driver for ps is rtl_pci, and that for rtl8192c is rtl8192c-common. The other driver names match their directory.
