The existing code only converts the first IE to a TLV, but it returns a
value that takes the length of all IEs into account. When there is more
than one IE (which happens with modern wpa_supplicant versions for
example), the returned length is too long and extra junk TLVs get sent
to the firmware, resulting in an association failure.

Fix this by finding the first RSN or WPA IE and only adding that. This
has the extra benefit of working properly if the RSN/WPA IE isn't the
first one in the IE buffer.

While we're at it, clean up the code to use the available structs like
the other lbs_add_* functions instead of directly manipulating the TLV
buffer.

Hi Doug,

Thanks for fixing the endiness issues with cpu_to_le16()
This part looks good to me now. Likewise for patch 4/4.

One suggestion I have, which is probably taking things to far,
is a helper for what seems to be repeated code-pattern.
But I don't feel strongly about that.

Thanks Simon. Is this basically what you're suggesting for a helper?

static int lbs_add_ie_tlv(u8 *tlvbuf, const struct element *ie, u16 tlvtype)
{
	struct mrvl_ie_data *tlv = (struct mrvl_ie_data *)tlvbuf;
	tlv->header.type = cpu_to_le16(tlvtype);
	tlv->header.len = cpu_to_le16(ie->datalen);
	memcpy(tlv->data, ie->data, ie->datalen);
	return sizeof(struct mrvl_ie_header) + ie->datalen;
}

And then in the two functions where I'm doing that, at the bottom:

return lbs_add_ie_tlv(tlv, wpaie, wpaie->id);
return lbs_add_ie_tlv(tlv, wpsie, TLV_TYPE_WPS_ENROLLEE);

I could definitely do that to avoid repeating the chunk of code that
fills out the struct in the two functions. A lot of the other
lbs_add_*_tlv functions follow a similar pattern of setting up a struct
pointer and filling out the header, so I don't think it's too crazy to
just repeat the code twice. On the other hand, the example above does
look pretty darn clean. I don't feel strongly either way myself.

+       /* Return the total number of bytes added to the TLV buffer */
+       return sizeof(struct mrvl_ie_header) + wpaie->datalen;
  }
