Subject: [PATCH v2] mac80211: Fix clang warning about constant operand in logical operation
Date: Thu,  6 Apr 2017 16:31:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170406233141.123098-1-mka@chromium.org> (raw)

When clang detects a non-boolean constant in a logical operation it
generates a 'constant-logical-operand' warning. In
ieee80211_try_rate_control_ops_get() the result of strlen(<const str>)
is used in a logical operation, clang resolves the expression to an
(integer) constant at compile time when clang's builtin strlen function
is used.

Change the condition to check for strlen() > 0 to make the constant
operand boolean and thus avoid the warning.

Signed-off-by: Matthias Kaehlcke <mka@chromium.org>

Changes in v2:
- Changed expression to strlen() > 0 to make constant operand boolean
  instead of splitting up condition
- Updated commit message
