[PATCH v5] staging: rtl8723bs: modify struct field to use standard bool type
Posted by Abraham Samuel Adekunle 6 days, 10 hours ago
The struct sta_info field ieee8021x_blocked uses the uint values
0 and 1 to represent false and true values respectively.

Convert cases to use the bool type instead to ensure consistency
with other parts of the containing code where true or false have
been used.

This change causes the struct field to change size from a 32bit to
an 8bit. However, the change is safe to make because the sta_info
struct is not read from the hardware.

Reported by Coccinelle.
