Hi,
I had done a bunch of fixups to this patch, but the zero-day build

correctly reports that:

+ &he_cap->he_mcs_nss_supp.rx_mcs_80,
+ &own_he_cap.he_mcs_nss_supp.tx_mcs_80,
+ &he_cap->he_mcs_nss_supp.tx_mcs_80);
the &own_he_cap... parts here will take an __le16 pointer to a possibly
unaligned variable - any thoughts how we could fix that?
Hi Johannes,
Add "__packed" before the "__le16 *" should solve this warning by my
