Subject: [PATCH] net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac: Make return type reflect actual semantics

Applying ++ to a bool is equivalent to setting it true, regardless of
its initial value (bools are not uint1_t). Hence the function
wl_get_vif_state_all can only ever return true/false. The only
in-tree caller uses its return value as a boolean. So update its
return type, and since the list traversal and bit testing have no side
effects, just return true immediately.

Notes:
    Alternatively, if the function is supposed to return a count, the
    one-line fix would be
    
    -	bool result = 0;
    +	u32 result = 0;
