Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: rtl8723bs: replace magic number in InitBeaconParameters
Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2026 12:09:02 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260711063901.30828-2-ananthanr.off@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026071157-ovary-property-4427@gregkh>

Per the bitfield comment in hal_com_reg.h, REG_TBTT_PROHIBIT packs
a "setup" time in bits 3:0 and a "hold" time in bits 19:8. The
rtw_write16() call here only writes the low 16 bits of that
register, covering the full setup field and the low byte of the
hold field.

Replace the magic number 0x6404 with two named constants
representing these fields.

No functional change.

Bit-field positions are documented in the comment above
REG_TBTT_PROHIBIT in drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/include/hal_com_reg.h.

v2: Use full name in Signed-off-by and document the source of the
    bitfield values (comment above REG_TBTT_PROHIBIT in hal_com_reg.h)
    per Greg's review.
