Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Fix cast to restricted __le16 in ks7010 driver

This patch fixes Sparse warining found in ks_wlan_net.c. This seems
to be last of it reported by Sparse for that driver.
link_ap_info_t structure field 'capability' has native order and is
used everywhere in the code in such way (i.e get_ap_information,
get_current_ap), so le16_to_cpu() on it is wrong and must be removed.
As this is not HW related structure we are free to choose its byte
order and it is easier just to remove one wrong casting than rework
all other places to treat it as __le16.
