[PATCH 10/10] staging:rtl8192u: Change struct r8192_priv member Rf_Mode from u8 > enum

[John Whitmore]

The file r8192U.h defines the structure for holding private data for the
driver (typedef struct r8192_priv). This structure includes a member Rf_Mode
which is defined to be of type "u8".

Whilst the variable Rf_Mode is defined to be of type "u8" it is being assigned
enumerated values defined by the enumerated type "enum rf_op_type". Because of
the mismatch in types being used any advantage of using an enumerated type, to
have the compiler check assignments, is nullified.

This patch changes the type of the Rf_Mode member from a u8 to the enumerated
type "enum rf_op_type", so that the compiler can now check assignments.

This change of type would cause a problem if the structure was mapped from a
hardware device and the size and location of members was significant. I
believe that the structure to hold private data for the driver is allocated
from memory and populated with data in the function rtl8192_usb_probe() in the
file r8192U_core.c. As such the physical size of the member variable Rf_Mode
is not significant, so the change should have no impact on code execution, bar
the move from a u8 type to an int, (or whatever size compiler uses for enum).
