This confused me. Better to phrase it like:

Shorten the expression by using the "psecuritypriv" pointer.

It's better to align it slightly different as well. In the kernel we
would normally align the second condition to match the first one.

I probably would have gotten rid of the parenthesis as well. I don't
like double parenthesis around == because I reserve that for =
assignment conditions.

if (psecuritypriv->dot11PrivacyAlgrthm == _TKIP_ ||
psecuritypriv->dot11PrivacyAlgrthm == _AES_) {
rtw_setstakey_cmd(padapter, psta, true, false);

When you're changing just a couple lines like this you can get away with
making multiple white space changes at the same time because the One
Thing that the patch does is "Clean up a Condition". There is some
flexibility in the One thing Per Patch rule, but you have to sell it in
the right way. The patch description would be:

Checkpatch.pl complains that this line is over 80 characters. We
should use the "psecuritypriv" for consistency. It's not aligned
properly and there are too many parenthesis.

This patch just cleans up a condition, it doesn't affect runtime.
