Subject: staging: pi433: Possible bug in rf69.c

Hi everybody!

Just comparing the master of Gregs statging of pi433 with my local SVN
to review all changes, that were done the last monthes.

I am not sure, but maybe we imported a bug in rf69.c lines 378 and
following:

Gregs repo:
	case automatic:	 return WRITE_REG(REG_LNA, ( (READ_REG(REG_LNA) &
~MASK_LNA_GAIN) & LNA_GAIN_AUTO) );
	case max:	 return WRITE_REG(REG_LNA, ( (READ_REG(REG_LNA) &
~MASK_LNA_GAIN) & LNA_GAIN_MAX) );
	case maxMinus6:  return WRITE_REG(REG_LNA, ( (READ_REG(REG_LNA) &
~MASK_LNA_GAIN) & LNA_GAIN_MAX_MINUS_6) );
	case maxMinus12: return WRITE_REG(REG_LNA, ( (READ_REG(REG_LNA) &
~MASK_LNA_GAIN) & LNA_GAIN_MAX_MINUS_12) );
	case maxMinus24: return WRITE_REG(REG_LNA, ( (READ_REG(REG_LNA) &
~MASK_LNA_GAIN) & LNA_GAIN_MAX_MINUS_24) );
	case maxMinus36: return WRITE_REG(REG_LNA, ( (READ_REG(REG_LNA) &
~MASK_LNA_GAIN) & LNA_GAIN_MAX_MINUS_36) );
	case maxMinus48: return WRITE_REG(REG_LNA, ( (READ_REG(REG_LNA) &
~MASK_LNA_GAIN) & LNA_GAIN_MAX_MINUS_48) );

my repo:
	case automatic:	 return WRITE_REG(REG_LNA, ( (READ_REG(REG_LNA) &
~MASK_LNA_GAIN) | LNA_GAIN_AUTO) );
	case max:	 return WRITE_REG(REG_LNA, ( (READ_REG(REG_LNA) &
~MASK_LNA_GAIN) | LNA_GAIN_MAX) );
	case maxMinus6:  return WRITE_REG(REG_LNA, ( (READ_REG(REG_LNA) &
~MASK_LNA_GAIN) | LNA_GAIN_MAX_MINUS_6) );
	case maxMinus12: return WRITE_REG(REG_LNA, ( (READ_REG(REG_LNA) &
~MASK_LNA_GAIN) | LNA_GAIN_MAX_MINUS_12) );
	case maxMinus24: return WRITE_REG(REG_LNA, ( (READ_REG(REG_LNA) &
~MASK_LNA_GAIN) | LNA_GAIN_MAX_MINUS_24) );
	case maxMinus36: return WRITE_REG(REG_LNA, ( (READ_REG(REG_LNA) &
~MASK_LNA_GAIN) | LNA_GAIN_MAX_MINUS_36) );
	case maxMinus48: return WRITE_REG(REG_LNA, ( (READ_REG(REG_LNA) &
~MASK_LNA_GAIN) | LNA_GAIN_MAX_MINUS_48) );

Up to my opinion, my (old) version is better then Gregs (new) version.
If you agree, I'll prepare a patch, to revert the modification.

Thanks,

Marcus
