[PATCH 61/78] net: mac802154: comparision issue of type cast, finding by EXTRA_CFLAGS=-W

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.8.13.1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Chen Gang <gang.chen@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2c1bbbffa0b644fab4f91878cde0c2e8f52e2dcc ]

Change MAC802154_CHAN_NONE from ~(u8)0 to 0xff, or the comparison in
mac802154_wpan_xmit() for ``chan == MAC802154_CHAN_NONE'' will not
succeed.

This bug can be boiled down to ``u8 foo = 0xff; if (foo == ~(u8)0)
[...] else [...]'' where the condition will always take the else
branch.
