I've applied this, but now this function generates 3 new build warnings:

  CC [M]  drivers/staging/brcm80211/sys/wl_mac80211.o
drivers/staging/brcm80211/sys/wl_mac80211.c: In function ‘wl_check_firmwares’:
drivers/staging/brcm80211/sys/wl_mac80211.c:1817:4: warning: format ‘%d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘size_t’
drivers/staging/brcm80211/sys/wl_mac80211.c:1817:4: warning: format ‘%d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 4 has type ‘long unsigned int’
drivers/staging/brcm80211/sys/wl_mac80211.c:1822:4: warning: format ‘%d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘size_t’


Please test this stuff before sending it to me :(

And please send a follow-up patch that fixes the warnings.

thanks,
