I posted a patch that annotates radiotap as little-endian, but I haven't
seen any reaction so far.

I'm not aware of any driver that implements radiotap as native endian
(at least intentionally).  All implementation I know are little endian,
even if it means sparse warnings (that's how I became aware of the
problem with the non-annotated include file for radiotap).
