[PATCH v10 2/2] staging: rtl8723bs: Use % 4096 instead of & 0xfff

From: Abraham Samuel Adekunle
Date: Fri Apr 11 2025 - 15:42:51 EST


The sequence number is constrained to a range of [0, 4095], which
is a total of 4096 values. The bitmask operation using `& 0xfff` is
used to perform this wrap-around. While this is functionally correct,
it obscures the intended semantic of a 4096-based wrap.

Using a modulo operation `% 4096u` makes the wrap-around logic
explicit and easier to understand. It clearly signals that the
sequence number cycles through a range of 4096 values.
It also makes the code robust against potential changes of the 4096
upper limit, especially when it becomes a non power-of-2 value while
the AND(&) works solely for power-of-2 values.

The use of `% 4096u` also guarantees that the modulo operation is
performed with unsigned arithmetic, preventing potential issues with
the signed types.

Found by Coccinelle.
