Re: [PATCH] Staging:ks7010:ks_wlan_net.c: unneeded type casting removed
From: Joe Perches
Date: Mon Jul 10 2017 - 09:51:36 EST
A floating point constant cast to an int was giving
a false positive warning about unneeded cast to int.
e.g.:
(fwrq->m >= (int)2.412e8) && (fwrq->m <= (int)2.487e8))
Fix it.
Though it's probably better to avoid float/double values
that are cast to int at all.
