[PATCH net-next 06/11] rtlwifi: fix -Wpointer-sign warning

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Mon Oct 26 2020 - 17:32:57 EST


From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

There are thousands of warnings in a W=2 build from just one file:

drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8821ae/table.c:3788:15: warning: pointer targets in initialization of 'u8 *' {aka 'unsigned char *'} from 'char *' differ in signedness [-Wpointer-sign]

Change the types to consistently use 'const char *' for the
strings.
