I dropped netdev from the mailing list. Wireless patches generally
should go through linux-wireless instead of netdev anyway. They get
picked up from there and forwarded on to Dave Miller.
I reviewed these patches when they were posted to the list but I missed
this style issue which Smatch complains about.

The (!foo == bar) is harmless here, but more often than not that
formulation indicates a precedence bug.
For memcmp() and to a larger extent for strcmp() then my prefered way
of doing it is:
if (memcmp(a, b, size) != 0) {
Normally, I rant and rave at code which does != 0 but for memcmp() it is
idiomatic *cmp() functions. Think about it like this:
if (a == b) {
Translates to:
if (memcmp(a, b, size) == 0) {
In your head you move the == to the middle so it's obvious a == b. Or
for strcmp():
if (strcmp(a, b, size) < 0) {
means that a is less than b alphabetically.
