Is this really a problem? I guess we could change that to "!!(param &
HI_OPTION_SDIO_CRASH_DUMP_ENHANCEMENT_FW)" but how is that better and
does it make any practical difference when
ath10k_sdio_is_fast_dump_supported() returns a boolean anyway?
It should not be a
real problem by test before.
ath10k_sdio_is_fast_dump_supported return true in test before.
and fast_dump get true from ath10k_sdio_is_fast_dump_supported in
ath10k_sdio_fw_crashed_dump.
the risk maybe like this:
u32 param in ath10k_sdio_is_fast_dump_supported is 4 bytes, and bool is
1 byte.
if Gcc does not do any convertion from u32 to bool, then the bool value
will only
get the lower byte(byte 0) of the 4 bytes, then maybe get an mistake
result.
I did a disassemble of sdio.o with/without below change, and dump
sdio.o, it have no difference in this place:
I change send a patch with below change if needed.
