[PATCH 1/3] staging: wilc1000: replace udelay with usleep_range

[Ioannis Valasakis]

Fix warning and replace a udelay inside a non-atomic context and
it can be safely replace by a usleep_range(t, t + delta), where delta is
20% of t, as that is between 10 and 20 microseconds.
Reported by checkpatch.

It looks like your delta is 5%?

Indeed. Thanks for the quick reply, I am going to submit a new version.

Did you see the 20% rule somewhere?  Theer was anther patch that Greg
rejected, as he considered that one would need the hardware to find the
correct range.

There's no rule but I was going through old approved commits 
and this is where I saw that 10-20 microseconds allowance.

I don't have the hardware indeed but I hope I can get some 
insight form the cc:ed developers from Microchip.

Unless you have the hardware for this device, and have tested it, I
can't take this patch, sorry.  The 20% number is totally randomly
picked, which isn't ok.

The _range stuff is primarily for when scheduling timers that are called
a lot, which is not the case here.

[PATCH 3/3] staging: wilc1000: Change struct members from bool to u8

[Ioannis Valasakis]

Recent versions of checkpatch have a new warning based on a documented
preference of Linus to not use bool in structures due to wasted space and
the size of bool is implementation dependent.  For more information, see
the email thread at https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/21/384.

I can see Linus's point of view, but it seems sad anyway, as it allows all
sorts of values for somthing that should only be true or false.

The disccussion was not about "u8(usigned char) Vs bool" object
representation but rather about "bitfields Vs bool".

It is true that the sizeof(__Bool) is implementation defined can be
1-4 depending upon the implementation.

Indeed sizeof(usigned char) is *guaranteed* to be 1!
https://port70.net/~nsz/c/c11/n1570.html#6.5.3.4p4

But would be worthwhile to change it to usigned/signed int full : 1
instead since we only care about true/false ?

No, this reduces the information about the field.  There's no wasted
space here at all, the end result is the same.  The issue is, as
Himanshu points out, when using bool instead of a bitfield.

So this patch isn't needed, sorry.

Noted. Learning something every day. Thanks greg.
