Making code checkpatch clean shouldn't be the primary goal here.

Removing uses of Hungarian-style notation, CamelCase naming, and
long variable names would be more helpful overall.

btw: this cast is  unnecessary.
&Adapter->stBCMPhsContext is a (struct bcm_phs_extension *)

Using one initializer per line is generally better.

You could remove the (PVOID) casts here.
mem<foo> pointers don't need to be cast to void,
the compiler already does that.

maybe use a temporary for &pst->stHostInfo and change all
of these to

	host_info-><foo> = Adapter-><bar>;
