Subject: [PATCH] fix comparisons - put constant on right side- eudyptula

Dear linux kernel developers,

for my eudyptula challenge it is required of me to fix a coding style
issue in the staging area in linux-next. I am aware that it is in
general frowned upon when submitting these sorts of patches. However, to
finish my 10th challenge I was tasked to do exactly that. So I ask you
kindly to pull this patch if possible.

Thank you for your time,

kind regards

Fix the subject. Don't mention eudyptula.

[PATCH] Staging: rtl8723bs: put constant on right side of comparison

Add a commit message:

Checkpatch complains that the constant needs to be on the right hand
side of the comparion.

The prefered format for this is actually:

if (!StaAddr)
return;
