[PATCH V2 3/6] staging: rtl8712: fix comment

[Joshua Clayton]

The old comment refers to a typedef name which is being removed,
and to a style of calculation which is no longer being used.
It falsely states that IELength is variable length, instead of IEs.

Change comment to simply state that the IEs field is a buffer of
variable size and that IELength refers to the current size.

Subject: [PATCH V2 3/6] staging: rtl8712: fix comment
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2015 07:31:51 -0700
Message-Id: <1438007514-9228-4-git-send-email-stillcompil...@gmail.com>
X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.4.6

References: <1438007514-9228-1-git-send-email-stillcompil...@gmail.com>

The old comment refers to a typedef name which is being removed,
and to a style of calculation which is no longer being used.
It falsely states that IELength is variable length, instead of IEs.

Change comment to simply state that the IEs field is a buffer of
variable size and that IELength refers to the current size.

Subject: [PATCH V2 3/6] staging: rtl8712: fix comment
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2015 07:31:51 -0700
Message-Id: <1438007514-9228-4-git-send-email-stillcompil...@gmail.com>
X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.4.6
In-Reply-To: <1438007514-9228-1-git-send-email-stillcompil...@gmail.com>
References: <1438007514-9228-1-git-send-email-stillcompil...@gmail.com>

The old comment refers to a typedef name which is being removed,
and to a style of calculation which is no longer being used.
It falsely states that IELength is variable length, instead of IEs.

Change comment to simply state that the IEs field is a buffer of
variable size and that IELength refers to the current size.

Subject: [PATCH V2 3/6] staging: rtl8712: fix comment
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2015 07:31:51 -0700
Message-Id: <1438007514-9228-4-git-send-email-stillcompil...@gmail.com>
X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.4.6
In-Reply-To: <1438007514-9228-1-git-send-email-stillcompil...@gmail.com>
References: <1438007514-9228-1-git-send-email-stillcompil...@gmail.com>

The old comment refers to a typedef name which is being removed,
and to a style of calculation which is no longer being used.
It falsely states that IELength is variable length, instead of IEs.

Change comment to simply state that the IEs field is a buffer of
variable size and that IELength refers to the current size.

Subject: [PATCH V2 3/6] staging: rtl8712: fix comment
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2015 07:31:51 -0700
Message-Id: <1438007514-9228-4-git-send-email-stillcompil...@gmail.com>
X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.4.6

References: <1438007514-9228-1-git-send-email-stillcompil...@gmail.com>

The old comment refers to a typedef name which is being removed,
and to a style of calculation which is no longer being used.
It falsely states that IELength is variable length, instead of IEs.

Change comment to simply state that the IEs field is a buffer of
variable size and that IELength refers to the current size.

Subject: [PATCH V2 3/6] staging: rtl8712: fix comment
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2015 07:31:51 -0700
Message-Id: <1438007514-9228-4-git-send-email-stillcompil...@gmail.com>
X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.4.6

References: <1438007514-9228-1-git-send-email-stillcompil...@gmail.com>

The old comment refers to a typedef name which is being removed,
and to a style of calculation which is no longer being used.
It falsely states that IELength is variable length, instead of IEs.

Change comment to simply state that the IEs field is a buffer of
variable size and that IELength refers to the current size.

The old comment refers to a typedef name which is being removed,
and to a style of calculation which is no longer being used.
It falsely states that IELength is variable length, instead of IEs.

Change comment to simply state that the IEs field is a buffer of
variable size and that IELength refers to the current size.
