Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 1/2] staging: rtl8723bs: fix spacing around operators
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 07:14:47 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910111448.4188963-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090821-buffer-epidemic-346b@gregkh>

From: Vivek BalachandharTN <vivek.balachandhar@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 2038fe84b8bdf894b634f777096685e78e8f3774 ]

Fix several instances where operators lacked spaces around them.
This improves readability and brings the driver closer to kernel
coding-style guidelines. No functional change.

For this stable dependency, retain only the spacing change to the IE
advance in rtw_restruct_wmm_ie(). This supplies the exact context needed
by target commit 28a289beaf226 ("staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in
rtw_restruct_wmm_ie()"). Drop the unrelated operator-spacing hunks.

Keep the existing bounds-first WMM match condition from stable commit
4dd2d9cf563c5 (upstream a75281626fc8f); applying the older condition
would undo its out-of-bounds-read fix. No functional change.

Stable-dep-of: 28a289beaf22 ("staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in rtw_restruct_wmm_ie()")
