Subject: ath: wil6210: Fix build error
From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5d21608a592a9afcac8d82c6478a564e911ce70b upstream.
Building driver wil6210 in 3.10 and 3.11 kernels yields the following errors:
CC [M] drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil6210/debugfs.o

These errors are fixed by changing the type of the buffer from "unsigned char *" to "char *".
