From cb6c1ee3057ebb717fd4439711b3cb5354d5085f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ebru Akagunduz Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2014 02:47:29 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] staging: wlan-ng: Fix restricted __be16 degrades to integer skb->protocol variable type is __be16 and in if condition it is comparing with ETH_P_80211_RAW constant variable which is not __be16 type. Using be16_to_cpu() function, value of skb->protocol converted native processor format. This bug was found by sparse.
