Subject: [PATCH v4] staging: rtl8723bs: replace ternary min comparison with min()
Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2026 17:01:36 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260207220136.67923-1-william.hansen.baird@gmail.com> (raw)
Change type of local variable wpa_ie_len from int to u8.
wpa_ie_len gets its value either from elems->wpa_ie_len or
elems->rsn_ie_len which are both u8, and thus there's no reason
to cast them to int.
This allows rewriting ternary min comparison using the min() function from
linux/minmax.h as now both sides are unsigned.
Rewrite as well wpa_ie_len + 2 to wpa_ie_len + 2u,
to keep the expression unsigned and avoid overflows.

v4:
-Rebased changes on main tree rather than previous patches.
v3:
-Applied feedback from David Laight and Dan Carpenter
-Reorder include alphabetically
-Made wpa_ie_len unsigned
-Rewrote title and body to reflect change from min_t() to min(), as
min_t() is now unnecessary after changes, and should be avoided.
v2:
-Drop unrelated style changes and fix style issues by running checkpatch.
-Keep min_t() to make the signedness of the comparison explicit.
