[PATCH 1/2 v3] drivers: staging: rtl8723au: Changed rssi_cmd to little-endian param

[Jacob Kiefer]

From: Jacob Kiefer <jtk54@cornell.edu>

Changed rssi_cmd interface to accept le32 param instead of
unnecessary u8 * conversion. Updated existing calls to rssi_cmd.
This patch pushes responsibility to caller to convert to
le32. This cleans up the code quite a bit.
Also removed magic numbers.

This patch fixes the following sparse error:

[PATCH 2/2 v3] drivers: staging: rtl8723au: Changed raid_cmd to little-endian mask

[Jacob Kiefer]

From: Jacob Kiefer <jtk54@cornell.edu>

Changed raid_cmd interface to accept le32 mask instead of
u32 and converting internally. Updated existing calls to raid_cmd.
This patch pushes responsibility to the caller to convert
the mask to le32 and opts for a temp local struct instead of
memset/memcpy. This cleans up the code considerably.
Also removed magic numbers.

This patch fixes the following sparse error:

I am fine with this code in principle, but has it been tested? This
stuff will break the driver miserably if it's wrong.

This patchset has not been tested.
Unfortunately, I don't have to proper card to test this patch on my
local. It built for me, and that's as far as I went.

Is there a way for me to test this patch locally _without_ the
corresponding wireless card? I will gladly do this, I just need to know
the tools to use and methodology.

Otherwise, can anyone with the correct wireless card apply these patches to a copy of the kernel and
test that nothing breaks because of the patch on their machine? Again
this is for the RTL8723au wireless card.

Thanks,
Jake
