Good advice. This was actually found by Sparse and the changelog should
say:

Sparse complains about this:

ieee80211_softmac.c:1561:16: warning: cast from restricted __le16
ieee80211_softmac.c:1561:16: warning: incorrect type in return expression (different base types)
ieee80211_softmac.c:1561:16: expected unsigned short
ieee80211_softmac.c:1561:16: got restricted __le16 [usertype] <noident>

The caller basically only cares about zero and non-zero so it doesn't
affect runtime (except for making an debug message more accurate).
