Subject: staging: wilc1000: simplify vif[i]->ndev accesses

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>

commit 735bb39ca3bed8469b3b3a42d8cc57bdb9fc4dd7 upstream.

With gcc-7, I got a new warning for this driver:

wilc1000/linux_wlan.c: In function 'wilc_netdev_cleanup':
wilc1000/linux_wlan.c:1224:15: error: 'vif[1]' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] wilc1000/linux_wlan.c:1224:15: error: 'vif[0]' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

A closer look at the function reveals that it's more complex than it needs to be, given that based on how the device is created we always get

	netdev_priv(vif->ndev) == vif

Based on this assumption, I found a few other places in the same file that can be simplified. That code appears to be a relic from times when the assumption above was not valid.
