Hi Sevinj,

The function iterates an index from 0 to NUM_PMKID_CACHE and returns
the first index for which the condition is true. If no such index is
found, the function returns -1. Current code has a complex control
flow that obfuscates this simple task. Replace it with a loop.

Also, given the shortened function body, replace the long variable
name psecuritypriv with a short variable name p.

Reported by checkpatch:

WARNING: else is not generally useful after a break or return

[code snip]

+ for (i = 0; i < NUM_PMKID_CACHE; i++)
+ if ((p->PMKIDList[i].bUsed) &&
+ (!memcmp(p->PMKIDList[i].Bssid, bssid, ETH_ALEN)))
+ return i;
+ return -1;
}

Looks good, but let's not introduce new checkpatch issue:

CHECK: Alignment should match open parenthesis
#62: FILE: drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme.c:1645:
+ if ((p->PMKIDList[i].bUsed) &&
+ (!memcmp(p->PMKIDList[i].Bssid, bssid, ETH_ALEN)))
