I'll fix this, as below.

David Choi, I'm quite upset, this shows that you did not test the
16-bit code paths (the whole _point_ of this change) at all.  You
didn't even validate the build for new warnings.

--------------------
ks8842: Fix ks8842_tx_frame() for 16bit case.

As reported by Andrew:

drivers/net/ks8842.c: In function 'ks8842_handle_rx':
drivers/net/ks8842.c:428: warning: 'status' may be used uninitialized in this function

Just use the 32-bit status for all reads, and delete the useless
cast to 'int' when reading a u16 into 'len'.
