wifi: hostap: 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].
Fix a total of 42 warnings like these:
../drivers/net/wireless/intersil/hostap/hostap_ioctl.c:3868:2: warning: cast from 'int (*)(struct net_device *, struct iw_request_info *, char *, 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) prism2_get_name, /* SIOCGIWNAME */
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The hostap 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
before/after changes.
These changes were made partly manually and partly with the help of
Coccinelle.
