There are certain conditional expressions in rtlwifi, where a boolean
variable is compared with true/false, in forms such as (foo == true) or
(false != bar), which does not comply with checkpatch.pl (CHECK:
BOOL_COMPARISON), according to which boolean variables should be
themselves used in the condition, rather than comparing with true/false

E.g., in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/ps.c,
"if (find_p2p_ie == true)" can be replaced with "if (find_p2p_ie)"

Replace all such expressions with the bool variables appropriately

As has been stated several times, this form of the subject is
incorrect. It should be: "rtlwifi: <driver_name>: <subject>

I would prefer that there be separate patches for each driver, not
that the changes be lumped into a single patch as was done here. Such
organization makes it a lot easier to find the patches for a given
driver in case something goes wrong.Note: The driver for ps is
rtl_pci, and that for rtl8192c is rtl8192c-common. The other driver
names match their directory.

Hi Larry!
I sent the modified patches as patch series separately.
I probably missed CCing you :/

The patch series can be found at:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/20210110121525.2407-1-yashsri421@gmail.com/#t (local)

Please review :)

Thanks
Aditya
