This commit fix a few sparse warnings. It mostly consists of fixing the type declarations
and avoiding the use of variables with mixed endianness values.

"buff" comes from the network, it's going to be little endian, not cpu
endian.  The rest of the function treats it as CPU endian but I'm pretty
sure it's wrong...

I worry about alignment issues here.  That might be the reason for the
memcpy().  (I'm reading as fast as I can and don't the code so I may
be wrong).

Maybe the same, whenever you see a memcpy().

Why did we make these int now?

Why do we not need to mask by 0x7?  Anyway, I feel like this isn't
beautiful.  We should be using a macro and "wid" instead of magically
poking into info[1].

		switch(SOME_MACRO(wid)) {

In addition to Dan's comments, I have one more observation.

The above line has a crash(Oops), while downloading the firmware to
WILC1000 module i.e "header = (__le32 *)buffer + offset;".

The crash can be fixes by putting extra bracket like 
header = (__le32 *)(buffer + offset);

But I suggest to avoid use of 'header' variable and only change the
below 2 lines.
		
   addr = cpu_to_le32(addr);
   size = cpu_to_le32(size);

to 

   le32_to_cpus(addr);
   le32_to_cpus(size);

buff comes from the network but we are looking at single byte here.
ieee80211_is_action expects an le16, so we I added this to extend an u8
to an le16. Is this incorrect ?

Or maybe we the buff has the second byte ? but that I can't tell.

Yes, when sending the data to ieee80211_is_action() it should pass
16bit value instead of 8bit value. It should be corrected.

But the buff received from the wifi module is already in little endian
format. As the data is already in LE endian format so in my opinion
the conversion is not required while calling ieee80211_is_action().

The buffer structure contains both some custom information along
with standard info. As the frame_control is the first 2 byte in the in
buff so casting it can also help to extract frame_control.

Please refer the code in mgmt_tx() which use like below

const struct ieee80211_mgmt *mgmt;
....
mgmt = (const struct ieee80211_mgmt *)buf;

ieee80211_is_action(mgmt->frame_control)


I think another approach can be by using proper type cast with first 2
bytes of buffer(to extract 16bit value) and pass it to
ieee80211_is_action().

You raise a good point that I hadn't seen. The original code is clearly
buggy.  But your fix isn't correct either...  The other thing to
consider is that cpu_to_le16() is basically a cast to u16 on x86 so it's
a no-op here.

Really the right thing is to not treat buff as an array of u8 but a
struct.  The code assumes that frame_type is 0-255 but probably it's
supposed to go up to U16_MAX.

struct whatever {
	__le16 frame_type;
	...

There probably is already a struct like that, but I don't know what it
is.  I don't know this code at all, I'm just guessing.

The sparse warning is clearly spotting a real issue. I tried to at least
have big endian handle correctly the 0-255 case. I am willing to drop
the change (since I agree it's not very satisfying and will mask an issue), 
but may I ask you to explain how it is wrong ? How would you correctly expand 
an u8 to __le16 ? I think in big endian we need to swap the bytes.

I was thinking the same. I don't know whether this buf contains a
standard struct or something hw-specific. I'll try to dig further and
submit a separate patch if I can. Maybe Aditya can give more information
?

You're right that on big endian we would need to swap the bytes and
cpu_to_le16() does that.
