Huuh, that's really tricky. Can you just do "normal" conditions as
Larry suggested, please?
Sorry? I absolutely see nothing tricky there. Do you think this would look
"less tricky" to you:
switch (dev->fw.hdr_format) {
case B43_FW_HDR_410:
case B43_FW_HDR_351:
rxhdr_size = offsetof(struct b43_rxhdr_fw4,
format_351) +
sizeof(rxhdr_size->format_351);
break;
case B43_FW_HDR_598:
rxhdr_size = sizeof(*rxhdr);
break;
}
How about this?

I am sorry, I'm either being blind and stupid or you're trying to do
something quite wrong there. struct b43_rxhdr_fw4 has a bunch of fields
first, then at the end it has a union of two fields: format_598 and
format_351, right? rxhdr is pointing at the struct itself. Before the
offending patch memset() used to clean the whole struct. Now in your above
version you calculate the size of one of those union fields and nullify
that many bytes from the _beginning_ of the whole struct.
I've seen myself being wrong before, but here... I'll let you judge
though.
No, you are right. I misread the code. Your patch above would work and is
probably as clean as one can expect.
