[PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: rename camelCase variables
Posted by Nikolay Kulikov 1 day, 3 hours ago
Rename "pHT_caps_ie" to "pht_caps_ie" and "pHT_info_ie" to "pht_info_ie"
local variables to comply with Linux coding style.

This fixes the following checkpatch.pl warnings:
	CHECK: Avoid CamelCase: <pHT_caps_ie>
	CHECK: Avoid CamelCase: <pHT_info_ie>

Why did you pick these names?  You kept the "p" prefix for some reason,
which is "Hungarian" notation, and is not a kernel coding style, so
shouldn't you just use a name that reflects what this variable is doing,
and not encode the type in it?

thanks,
