[PATCH] Fix checkpatch.pl warnings in rtw_ieee80211.c.

[PATCH] Fix checkpatch.pl warnings in rtw_ieee80211.c.

[Haroen Tmimi]

1. Fix "Yoda condition" style issues by moving constants to the right
   side of the comparison (e.g., changing "_SUCCESS == val" to
   "val == _SUCCESS").

2. Change the _action_public_str array to "static const char * const"
   to ensure the array entries are read-only, preventing accidental
   modification of the pointers.

This has already been fixed in staging-next. Next time use the
staging-next branch when creating patches.

This looks good, make it it's own separate patch however. Please have
one logical change per patch.

Also, your header should have "staging: rtl8723bs" at the beginning.
Thanks.

These are unrelated things so they should be two patches.  But
apparently someone else already did at least part of this...
