3.16.51-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpen...@oracle.com>
commit d28ac7be15c70343cb270648e252f54d770eca6a upstream.
The cast here is wrong. We want to cast the pointer but we accidentally
do a no-op cast of the value. We normally want to set us_nav_upper to
WIFI_NAV_UPPER_US (30000) but because of this bug we instead set it to
184 on little endian systems and 0 on big endian ones.
