Subject: [PATCH V4 3/8] staging: rtl8712: fix comment
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2015 06:50:00 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1438177828-4752-3-git-send-email-stillcompiling@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1438057939.git.stillcompiling@gmail.com>

The old comment refers to a typedef name which is being removed,
and to a style of calculation which is no longer being used.
It falsely states that IELength is variable length, instead of IEs.

Change comment to simply state that the IEs field is a buffer of
variable size and that IELength refers to the current size.
