Hi Sudeep,

in my experience, you get the best results by posting a patch instead
of a bug report
when you spot a new warning. If you are unsure it's the right fix,
just state that
in the description. The maintainers will then either be able to just
pick it up if
it looks correct, or be motivated to do a better patch if they don't
like it. ;-)

In this case, I think the best fix would be to merged the 'default'
with the 'case
RTW_CHANNEL_WIDTH_20' in the switch statement, and use
RTW_SC_DONT_CARE. Of course, I have no idea if that is the right fix,
but it would make sense.

Just try to avoid adding initializations to the variable declaration, as that
would prevent the compiler from warning if there is a new uninitialized use.
