Subject: [PATCH 0/2] staging: wlan-ng: remove Sparse warnings for reading __le16

Hi,

I found that many "warning: cast to restricted __le16" in staging/wlan-ng directory.
I don't know why but many structures has u16 type variable, not __le16.
And they are read by le16_to_cpu macro.

So I introduced a wrapper macro to read u16 type variable without Sparse warning,
and convert it into u32 type.
I hope this could help.

  staging: wlan-ng: prism2sta.c: apply read_u16 macro
