Ok, I'll remove the extra comparison then to avoid the warning:

staging/rtl8192e/rtl819x_TSProc.c:326:14: error: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type [-Werror=type-limits]

I guess it should be a separate patch. I had just stumbled over the
same thing before resending the patch but decided not to change it
to keep the patch simple.
