Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8192u: fix incorrect mask when calculating TxPowerLevelCCK

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The mask of 0xff and right shift of 8 bits on ret always results in
a value of 0 for TxPowerLevelCCK.  I believe this should be a mask of
0xff00, however I do not have the hardware at hand to test this out,
so there is a distinct possibility I may be wrong on this.
