[PATCH 1/1] staging: cleanup: Fix incompatible type comparison in wilc1000/host_interface.c

[Mario J. Rugiero]

This patch replaces an "if (ptr > 0)" comparison that seems to be a
confusing way to check for null by a simpler "if (ptr)" check.

Put v2 in the subject.  Also the subsystem prefix is:

[PATCH v3] staging: wilc1000: ...

v2: Remove the != NULL because checkpatch complains.

Probably the intention was to check if "pstrSetBeaconParam->tail_len > 0"
but I'm not sure.  The wilc1000 maintainers are very responsive though
so maybe they will know for sure.

OK. Since the maintainers are CC'd, I guess I should wait for a 
clarification about this?

Hi Mario,

The purpose of that is to check if tail is null or not. if it is not null, there is tail
to send, so copy to buff.

[Mario J. Rugiero]

Thank you. Then the patch itself should see no changes as of now, am I 
right?
Should I submit a new one anyway to fix the subject line?

Regards,
Mario.

Would be v3, or remains v2 because of the lack of further changes 
afterwards?

Regards,
Mario.
