[PATCH v2] ath5k: fix WARNING opportunity for swap.

From: Mahmoud Maatuq
Date: Tue Aug 15 2023 - 00:14:07 EST


coccinielle reported the following:
./drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/phy.c:1573:25-26: WARNING opportunity for swap()

while trying to fix the above warning, it reveals that ath5k_hw_get_median_noise_floor()
had open-coded sort() functionality. Since ath5k_hw_get_median_noise_floor() only
executes once every 10 seconds, any extra overhead due to sort() calling
its "compare" and "swap" functions can be ignored, so replace the
existing logic with a call to sort().

changes in v2:
- update the commit message explaining why open-coded sort()
functionality is replaced with a call to sort().

- this part of updating the commit message is suggested by
Jeff Johnson <quic_jjohnson@xxxxxxxxxxx>

changes in v1:
- replace the entire double loop with sort()
as suggested by Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@xxxxxxxxxx>
