This isn't correct, fix the indentation and the logical splits
(less lines can be made).

You must have a SOB here above this line with your real name. Also, you
must have a patch note.

 You fixed the logical continuation problem but the alignment is still
 wrong. It should be something like:

	if (!rtw_mc2u_disable &&
	    check_fwstate(pmlmepriv, WIFI_AP_STATE) &&
	    (IP_MCAST_MAC(pkt->data) || 
	     ICMPV6_MCAST_MAC(pkt->data)) &&
	    !padapter->registrypriv.wifi_spec) {

As you can see I removed the "== true" and the "== 0". Since you're
editing the line it's best to remove other checkpatch.pl warnings.
Mention these are removed in your patch notes aswell.

Thanks,

ET

Why not

	if (!rtw_mc2u_disable && check_fwstate(pmlmepriv, WIFI_AP_STATE) &&

?

This also can be joined as it's logically a one piece of the conditional.

	    (IP_MCAST_MAC(pkt->data) || ICMPV6_MCAST_MAC(pkt->data)) &&
