Subject: [PATCH] Fix checkpatch.pl warnings in rtw_ieee80211.c.

1. Fix "Yoda condition" style issues by moving constants to the right
   side of the comparison (e.g., changing "_SUCCESS == val" to
   "val == _SUCCESS").

2. Change the _action_public_str array to "static const char * const"
   to ensure the array entries are read-only, preventing accidental
   modification of the pointers.
