Subject: [PATCH 1/2] staging: rtl8723bs: replace N_BYTE_ALIGMENT() with PTR_ALIGN()
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 21:25:52 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813-staging-testing-v1-1-8baa7c210474@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813-staging-testing-v1-0-8baa7c210474@gmail.com>
The macro N_BYTE_ALIGMENT() uses integer division and multiplication to
perform byte alignment, with a result equivalent to the standard kernel
macro ALIGN() which uses bitwise operations instead. The usages of this
macro involve casting the pointer to SIZE_PTR and casting the returned
value back, which is the same pattern that PTR_ALIGN() uses, by
replacing it with PTR_ALIGN() the manual castings to SIZE_PTR and (u8 *)
can be dropped, improving readability.
Compile tested only.
