The driver currently raises the following sparse warning: [...] cfg80211.c:360:42: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) [...] cfg80211.c:360:42: expected unsigned int key_mgmt_suite [...] cfg80211.c:360:42: got restricted __be32 [usertype] CHECK drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/netdev.c This conversion was needed because historically the external supplicant (observed with wpa_supplicant) expects AKM suite as big endian in NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH message when the AKM suite is WLAN_AKM_SUITE_SAE. This is not needed anymore: - new (to be released) versions of wpa_supplicant now reads it in host endian _while_ keeping compatibility for older drivers - for new drivers used with current/old wpa_supplicant, this conversion has been added to nl80211 to force big endian when the AKM suite is WLAN_AKM_SUITE_SAE Remove this not-needed-anymore conversion to fix the sparse warning.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
