Subject: [ 044/102] ath: wil6210: Fix build error

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@...inger.net>

commit 5d21608a592a9afcac8d82c6478a564e911ce70b upstream.

Building driver wil6210 in 3.10 and 3.11 kernels yields the following errors:

These errors are fixed by changing the type of the buffer from "unsigned char *" to "char *".
