[PATCH 0/4] wifi: drivers: fix some sparse warnings

[Kalle Valo]

Trying to reduce our sparse warnings, end goal is that wireless drivers would
be sparse warning free.

Kalle Valo (4):
  wifi: zd1211rw: remove __nocast from zd_addr_t
  wifi: rsi: fix restricted __le32 degrades to integer sparse warnings
  wifi: cw1200: fix __le16 sparse warnings
  wifi: rt2x00: fix __le32 sparse warnings

[PATCH 1/4] wifi: zd1211rw: remove __nocast from zd_addr_t

[Kalle Valo]

Sparse warns:

drivers/net/wireless/zydas/zd1211rw/zd_usb.c:383:24: warning: implicit cast from nocast type
drivers/net/wireless/zydas/zd1211rw/zd_usb.c:419:24: warning: implicit cast from nocast type

This is an ancient driver which has not have any meaningfuli changes for a long
time and hopefully removed soon. So just remove the __nocast to get rid of the
sparse warnings.

Compile tested only.

[PATCH 2/4] wifi: rsi: fix restricted __le32 degrades to integer sparse warnings

[Kalle Valo]

drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_91x_usb.c:235:27: warning: restricted __le32 degrades to integer
drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_91x_usb.c:236:27: warning: restricted __le32 degrades to integer

drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_91x_usb.c:245:35: warning: restricted __le32 degrades to integer

These cpu_to_le32() are not making sense. With usb_reg_buf we handle the values
byte at a time to make sure usb_reg_buf is in little endian so no need to
convert anything. And usb_control_msg() expects to have the values in native
endian anyway. So just remove these so they are not spamming our logs.

Compile tested only.

[PATCH 3/4] wifi: cw1200: fix __le16 sparse warnings

[Kalle Valo]

Sparse warns:

drivers/net/wireless/st/cw1200/cw1200_spi.c:83:17:    got restricted __le16 [usertype]
drivers/net/wireless/st/cw1200/cw1200_spi.c:148:17: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
drivers/net/wireless/st/cw1200/cw1200_spi.c:148:17:    expected unsigned short [addressable] [assigned] [usertype] regaddr
drivers/net/wireless/st/cw1200/cw1200_spi.c:148:17:    got restricted __le16 [usertype]

These cpu_to_le16() calls are not really making any sense to me. On a big
endian system we first convert regaddr from big to little using cpu_to_le16()
but immediately after we convert them back to big endian? So just remove them.

Compile tested only.

rt2x00 does some wicked casting here so no wonder sparse warns. Clean that up
and use cpu_to_le16() to avoid any warnings.

Compile tested only.

If I analyse it correctly, patch is not ok on Big Endian machines
where we do bytes swapping.

Let asume reg value is 0x0D0C0B0A

On previous code:

-	*(u32 *)&rt2x00dev->eeprom[i] = cpu_to_le32(reg);

result is

eeprom[0] = 0x0D
eeprom[1] = 0x0C
eeprom[2] = 0x0B
eeprom[3] = 0x0A

After modification:

+	rt2x00dev->eeprom[i] = cpu_to_le16(reg);
+	rt2x00dev->eeprom[i + 1] = cpu_to_le16(upper_16_bits(reg));

result will be

eeprom[0] = 0x0B
eeprom[1] = 0x0A
eeprom[2] = 0x0D
eeprom[2] = 0x0C

Maybe just casting to __le32, i.e:
	
	*(__le32 *)&rt2x00dev->eeprom[i] = cpu_to_le32(reg);

would solve the problem ?

Stanislaw
