wifi: airo: Avoid clashing function prototypes
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When built with Control Flow Integrity, function prototypes between
caller and function declaration must match. These mismatches are visible
at compile time with the new -Wcast-function-type-strict in Clang[1].

Fix a total of 32 warnings like these:

../drivers/net/wireless/cisco/airo.c:7570:2: warning: cast from 'int (*)(struct net_device *, struct iw_request_info *, void *, char *)' to 'iw_handler' (aka 'int (*)(struct net_device *, struct iw_request_info *, union iwreq_data *, char *)') converts to incompatible function type [-Wcast-function-type-strict]
        (iw_handler) airo_config_commit,        /* SIOCSIWCOMMIT */
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The airo Wireless Extension handler callbacks (iw_handler) use a
union for the data argument. Actually use the union and perform explicit
member selection in the function body instead of having a function
prototype mismatch. There are no resulting binary differences
before/after changes.

These changes were made partly manually and partly with the help of
Coccinelle.
