You do this a few times, not sure what it's supposed to achieve?

So ... can anyone tell me why there's a complete driver-internal
messaging infrastructure in this, that even suppresses errors like here
(out of range just results in a message rather than returning an error
to wherever it originated)?

It almost *seems* like it's a to-device infrastructure, but it can't be
since it uses host pointers everywhere?

I think this code would be far better off without the "bounce in driver
to resolve host pointers" step.

again, SSIDs are not 0-terminated strings

Again, use actual kernel infrastructure for much of this.

put_unaligned_le32().

> +	*cur_byte++ = param->aid & 0xFF;
> +	*cur_byte++ = (param->aid >> 8) & 0xFF;

and so on

but then again, I just suggested to not have these "pack" functions to
start with, or at least not in this way, since it just means you first
pack everything into host structs, and then repack everything again into
firmware format ...


So far I guess I'd say:
 * use more kernel infra, in particular {get,put}_unaligned_le{16,32}
 * name your device/driver-specific constants better, rather than things
   like "SET_CFG" which leave everyone wondering if it's specific to
   this driver or something from elsewhere
