wifi: atmel: Avoid clashing function prototypes
When built with Control Flow Integrity, function prototypes between
caller and function declaration must match. These mismatches are visible
at compile time with the new -Wcast-function-type-strict in Clang[1].
Of the 1549 warnings found, 188 come from the atmel driver. For example:
drivers/net/wireless/atmel/atmel.c:2518:2: warning: cast from 'int (*)(struct net_device *, struct iw_request_info *, void *, char *)' to 'iw_handler' (aka 'int (*)(struct net_device *, struct iw_request_info *, union iwreq_data *, char *)') converts to incompatible function type [-Wcast-function-type-strict]
(iw_handler) atmel_config_commit, /* SIOCSIWCOMMIT */
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The atmel Wireless Extension handler callbacks (iw_handler) use a union
for the data argument. Actually use the union and perform explicit
member selection in the function body instead of having a function
prototype mismatch. There are no resulting binary differences.
This patch is a cleanup based on Brad Spengler/PaX Team's modifications
to the atmel driver in their last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based
on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original
code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.
