Write a better subject line.

Yeah, but it does a some other stuff as well like removing casts.

I actually like the != 0 here because we're talking about the number
zero.  It should look like this:

		while (pcur_bss->rates[i] != 0 &&
		       pcur_bss->rates[i] != 0xFF) {

But removing the parens is something for a different patch.  I use a
script to help review these so when you mix different changes together
it means there is more manual review work for me.
