Subject: [PATCH 2/3] staging: rtl8192e: Fix big-endian warning

When compiling the rtl8192e driver from staging on a big-endian
architecture, the following warning results:

  CC [M]  drivers/staging/rtl8192e/ieee80211/ieee80211_softmac.o
drivers/staging/rtl8192e/ieee80211/ieee80211_softmac.c: In function 'ieee80211_probe_resp':
drivers/staging/rtl8192e/ieee80211/ieee80211_softmac.c:781: warning: value computed is not used

The warning is due to misuse of cpu_to_le16().
