Always list that below the --- line, as the documentation says to do. Please fix up in your v3 submission :) greg k-h

As "frame_type" is input as u16, it seems to me that the frame_type member of struct wilc_reg_frame should be __le16, not __le32. Larry
Thank you for your review Larry > Before you send V3 Oh, v3 was already sent a few moments before your message. > Before you send V3, are you sure this is the correct fix?

The frame_type member of struct wilc_reg_frame contains in some cases 32 bit value as you can see in function wilc_wlan_cfg_set_wid. Cast to 32 bits is also safe, due to resultant endianness. Julius

Thanks for submitting your patch. But as Larry pointed we need to change the 'frame_type' type to '__le16' in 'wilc_reg_frame' struct. The correct fix for this issue is to change the datatype from ‘__le32’ to ‘__le16’, as the firmware expects it to be a 16bit value. As wilc_wlan_cfg_set_wid(), is a generic function to pack different types of WID's e.g char u8 (0x0xxx), short (u16) (0x1xxx), int (u32) (0x2xxx), byte-string (0x3xxx) and binary data(0x4xxx). And based on the WID type the specific pack format is used. To frame register, WID_REGISTER_FRAME(0x3085) WID value is used and it's of byte-string type. So the packed struct value is transmitted as an array of u8 data. IMO there is no endianness issue provided firmware extracts members information in the correct structure order. Please resubmit the patch by changing 'frame_type' type to '__le16' in 'wilc_reg_frame' struct. Regards, Ajay

Done, sent patch version 4. Message subject changed to: "[PATCH v4] staging: wilc1000: fix registration frame size" to fit v4 patch content. Thank you for your review, Julius
