[PATCH] brcmsmac: fix shift on 4 bit masked value

From: Colin King <hidden>
Date: 2021-03-18 16:46:16

From: Colin Ian King <redacted>

The calculation of offtune_val seems incorrect, the u16 value in
pi->tx_rx_cal_radio_saveregs[2] is being masked with 0xf0 and then
shifted 8 places right so that always ends up as a zero result. I
believe the intended shift was 4 bits to the right. Fix this.

[Note: not tested, I don't have the H/W]

I think this needs review from someone familiar with the hardware.

Patch set to Changes Requested.

Patch set to Changes Requested.
What "change" are you requesting here?

Likely there needs to be some other setting for the patch.

Perhaps "deferred" as you seem to be requesting a review
and there's no actual change necessary, just approval from
someone with the hardware and that someone test the patch.
