[PATCH] ath11k (gcc13): synchronize ath11k_mac_he_gi_to_nl80211_he_gi()'s return type

[Jiri Slaby (SUSE)]

ath11k_mac_he_gi_to_nl80211_he_gi() generates a valid warning with gcc-13:
  drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:321:20: error: conflicting types for 'ath11k_mac_he_gi_to_nl80211_he_gi' due to enum/integer mismatch; have 'enum nl80211_he_gi(u8)'
  drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.h:166:5: note: previous declaration of 'ath11k_mac_he_gi_to_nl80211_he_gi' with type 'u32(u8)'

I.e. the type of the return value ath11k_mac_he_gi_to_nl80211_he_gi() in
the declaration is u32, while the definition spells enum nl80211_he_gi.
Synchronize them to the latter.

Suggest the subject should be
wifi: ath11k: synchronize ath11k_mac_he_gi_to_nl80211_he_gi()'s return type

The reference to gcc in the description should be sufficient.

Kalle can update this when he merges

Yeah, using "wifi:" is a new prefix we started using with wireless
patches this year.

It is mentioned on our wiki but I doubt anyone reads it :)

https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches#subject

Do let me know if there are other places which should have this info.

I did assume it will take at least a year or two before people get used
to the new prefix, but my patchwork script has a check for this and it's
trivial to fix the subject before I commit the patch. So hopefully the
switch goes smoothly.

I think that you are correct. ;)

Ideally it would be in the subsystem's profile document as described in the
MAINTAINERS file:

	P: Subsystem Profile document for more details submitting
	   patches to the given subsystem. This is either an in-tree file,
	   or a URI. See Documentation/maintainer/maintainer-entry-profile.rst
	   for details.

although that seems to be overkill IMHO just to add a prefix: setting.

You could just clone some other maintainer's Profile document and then modify it
to anything that you would like to have in it as far as Maintaining and patching
are concerned.

I think so. It will take some turnarounds for you before this starts 
appearing in git log output for every wireless driver. Then, people will 
start picking the prefix up from there ;).
