[PATCH 1/2] staging: rtl8723bs: fix coding style issues in core:rtw_wlan_util.c
Posted by Marcos Andrade 1 week ago
The 'enable' parameter in Switch_DM_Func() is of type u8. Explicitly
comparing it to 'true' (which evaluates to 1) is error-prone. If the
function is ever called with any non-zero value other than 1, the
condition will evaluate to false, incorrectly clearing the hardware
register instead of setting it.

Evaluate the condition implicitly to ensure that any non-zero value
correctly triggers the set operation.

This change also resolves the following check reported by
checkpatch.pl.

Why not just fix the parameter to be boolean instead?  That is the
correct fix, right?
