I need help with a sparse warning

From: Larry Finger

In file drivers/net/wireless/p54/p54common.c, the statement

priv->rx_mtu = (size_t) le16_to_cpu((__le16)bootrec->data[10]);

generates the sparse warning

.../p54common.c:185:29: warning: cast to restricted __le16

where bootrec->data is u32, and priv->rx_mtu is u16.

What should be done to eliminate this warning?

Thanks,

Larry
