So I just decided to send some patches myself, for both of my notes:

[PATCH 5.2 1/2] mwifiex: Don't abort on small, spec-compliant vendor IEs
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10996895/

[PATCH 2/2] mwifiex: use 'total_ie_len' in mwifiex_update_bss_desc_with_ie()
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10996893/

I'd appreciate your review.

Regards,
Brian
