Your commit message is incomplete.
checkpatch is a guide, but it's not what you should be describing here.
What whould be in the commit message is that these externs are unnecessary as they are done via #include of drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/include/rtw_mlme_ext.h
Also, your patch is not comprehensive. Please remove the unnecessary externs from all uses:
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_wlan_util.c:extern unsigned char RTW_WPA_OUI[];
And that file has the odd and conflicting
static unsigned char WPA_TKIP_CIPHER[4] = {0x00, 0x50, 0xf2, 0x02}; [] extern unsigned char WPA_TKIP_CIPHER[4];
Where the extern is also unnecessary.
cheers, Joe
