[PATCH 0/3] staging: r8188eu: clean up unnecessary type casts

[Michael Straube]

This series removes unnecessary type casts from de/encrypt functions
in core/rtw_security.c.

Tested with Inter-Tech DMG-02 adapter connected to a CCMP network.

[PATCH 1/3] staging: r8188eu: convert type of second parameter of rtw_*_encrypt()

[Michael Straube]

Convert the type of the second parameter of the rtw_*_encrypt() functions
to struct xmit_frame.

All callers of the functions cast the type to (u8 *) and in the functions
it is casted back to the original type. Changing the type of the second
parameter to struct xmit_frame avoids these unnecessary casts and improves
readability.

[PATCH 2/3] staging: r8188eu: convert type of second parameter of rtw_*_decrypt()

Convert the type of the second parameter of the rtw_*_decrypt() functions

All callers of the functions cast the type to (u8 *) and in the functions
it is casted back to the original type. Changing the type of the second
parameter to struct recv_frame avoids these unnecessary casts and improves
readability.
