Understood. Not sure what the motivation is to mistrust endian more.

Endian data tends to come from suspicious places such as disk images,
usb devices, and networks.

Simply because there could be conversion errors? Anyway, the main
question is whether pmkid_len is always between 0 and
WLAN_PMKID_LEN. As far as I know it is. We could 1) add additional
checks here, 2) make pmkid_len of u32 type, or 3) just mention the
(sure) assumption in a comment. I would prefer option 2) or 3).

I would prefer 2.  Static checker warnings are a pain.

Now who has been tinkering on static checkers ;-) Anyway, option 2) it is. Who will do the patch? :-p

Arend
