so now we have hdrlen(u16) and hdrlen(__le16)  it will be fun.

So I guess will we converting idioms
u16 fc = le16_to_cpu(hdr->frame_control);
int hdr_len = ieee80211_get_hdrlen(fc);
to
int hdr_len = ieee80211_hdrlen(hdr->frame_control)

This is how it used in driver code so it make sense to export this
function and remove ieee80211_get_hdrlen(fc)

Since all fc operations are bitwise 'and' and 'or'
u16 rx->fc can be dropped in future as well
