I try to change u32 to __le32 for the following members in struct
ieee80211_rann_ie.

struct ieee80211_rann_ie {
        u8 rann_flags;
        u8 rann_hopcount;
        u8 rann_ttl;
        u8 rann_addr[6];
        __le32 rann_seq;
        __le32 rann_interval;
        __le32 rann_metric;
} __attribute__ ((packed));

But when I compile using "make C=2 CF=-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__", I don't see
any sparse warning on this.

Please advice. Thanks

Regards,
Chun-Yeow
