wifi: orinoco: Avoid clashing function prototypes

Browse source

When built with Control Flow Integrity, function prototypes between
caller and function declaration must match. These mismatches are visible
at compile time with the new -Wcast-function-type-strict in Clang[1].

Fix a total of 43 warnings like these:

drivers/net/wireless/intersil/orinoco/wext.c:1379:27: warning: cast from 'int (*)(struct net_device *, struct iw_request_info *, struct iw_param *, char *)' to 'iw_handler' (aka 'int (*)(struct net_device *, struct iw_request_info *, union iwreq_data *, char *)') converts to incompatible function type [-Wcast-function-type-strict]
        IW_HANDLER(SIOCGIWPOWER,        (iw_handler)orinoco_ioctl_getpower),
                                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The orinoco Wireless Extension handler callbacks (iw_handler) use a
union for the data argument. Actually use the union and perform explicit
member selection in the function body instead of having a function
prototype mismatch. No significant binary differences were seen
before/after changes.

These changes were made partly manually and partly with the help of
Coccinelle.
