Subject[PATCH 3.16 014/133] rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix HW_VAR_NAV_UPPER operation
3.16.51-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>

commit d28ac7be15c70343cb270648e252f54d770eca6a upstream.

The cast here is wrong. We want to cast the pointer but we accidentally
do a no-op cast of the value. We normally want to set us_nav_upper to
WIFI_NAV_UPPER_US (30000) but because of this bug we instead set it to
184 on little endian systems and 0 on big endian ones.

Fixes: 3c05bedb5fef ("Staging: rtl8812ae: Add Realtek 8821 PCI WIFI driver")
