Subject: wireless: a global static to local static improvement
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=638af07386972861272ed9d0cff01cad528fdceb;p=linux-beck.git

wireless: a global static to local static improvement

There are two improvements in this simple patch:
1. wiphy_counter is a static var only used in one function, so
   can use local static instead of global static;
2. wiphy_counter wrap handling killed one comparision;
