From fe80123d83d1f9abca426914f768048e601f54db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 14:14:33 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: avoid a build warning gcc cannot prove that the value of sdata->vif.type does not change between the switch() statement and the second comparison to NL80211_IFTYPE_AP, causing a harmless warning. Slightly reordering the code makes the warning go away with no functional change. Without this patch, building ARM at91sam9g45_defconfig with gcc-4.6 results in: net/mac80211/tx.c: In function 'ieee80211_subif_start_xmit': net/mac80211/tx.c:1797:22: warning: 'chanctx_conf' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Johannes Berg Cc: "John W.
