wifi: wilc1000: remove AKM suite be32 conversion for external auth request
The driver currently raises the following sparse warning:
[...] cfg80211.c:360:42: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different
base types)
[...] cfg80211.c:360:42: expected unsigned int key_mgmt_suite
[...] cfg80211.c:360:42: got restricted __be32 [usertype]
CHECK drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/netdev.c
This conversion was needed because historically the external supplicant
(observed with wpa_supplicant) expects AKM suite as big endian in
NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH message when the AKM suite is WLAN_AKM_SUITE_SAE.
This is not needed anymore:
- new (to be released) versions of wpa_supplicant now reads it in host
endian _while_ keeping compatibility for older drivers
- for new drivers used with current/old wpa_supplicant, this conversion has
been added to nl80211 to force big endian when the AKM suite is
WLAN_AKM_SUITE_SAE
Remove this not-needed-anymore conversion to fix the sparse warning.
