In brcmf_p2p_notify_rx_mgmt_p2p_probereq(), chanspec is assigned before
the length of rxframe is validated.  This could lead to uninitialized
data being accessed (but not printed).  Since we already have a
perfectly good endian-swapped copy of rxframe->chanspec in ch.chspec,
and ch.chspec is not modified by decchspec(), avoid the extra
assignment and use ch.chspec in the debug print.

V1->V2: Clarify changelog re: whether the uninitialized data is printed.

This patch and the others in this series look fine to me.

Thanks,
