We disagree.

I like knowing what content is changed via patch subject lines
as there are 3 rtlwifi drivers being changed by this one patch.

But your choice, you can change it if you choose.

Reduce data usage about 1KB by using const.

Please remove below type casting:Â

The compiler is quiet about this so I believe this to be
an unrelated change and whitespace correction.

Of course you could modify it if you choose.

btw: There's an unnecessary return at the 2nd instance
of this cast removal too.
