[PATCH v2] staging: rtl8723bs: rename phy_status_rpt_8192cd_t to rtl8723bs_phy_status_rpt.

[PATCH v2] staging: rtl8723bs: rename phy_status_rpt_8192cd_t to rtl8723bs_phy_status_rpt.

[Timo Joannin]

The struct identifier references the 8192CD chip while being in a
rtl8723bs codebase. Additionally, the identifier uses the _t suffix,
while being generally reserved for typedef identifiers.

Rename the struct to rtl8723bs_phy_status_rpt
across the rtl8723bs codebase to accurately
reflect the driver and clean up the naming.

Additionally, propagate the real structure type all the way
through the call chain to remove redundant casts to and from u8 *.

Hi,

This is the friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman.  You have sent him
a patch that has triggered this response.  He used to manually respond
to these common problems, but in order to save his sanity (he kept
writing the same thing over and over, yet to different people), I was
created.  Hopefully you will not take offence and will fix the problem
in your patch and resubmit it so that it can be accepted into the Linux
kernel tree.

You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s)
as indicated below:

- This looks like a new version of a previously submitted patch, but you
  did not list below the --- line any changes from the previous version.
  Please read the section entitled "The canonical patch format" in the
  kernel file, Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for what
  needs to be done here to properly describe this.

If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about
how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and
Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received
from other developers.

thanks,

greg k-h's patch email bot
