Do please strive to do more than shut up checkpatch
messages.  It's _far_ more important to use sensible
coding mechanisms and reuse existing code utilities.

For instance: this could be rewritten in a single line.

In a different patch, assuming you add a temporary for
&pnetwork->network.configuration, these 7 lines could be:

	cfg->ds_config = clamp(cfg->ds_config, 1, 14);
