Subject: [PATCH] mwifiex: fix 802.11n/WPA detection
Commit 63d7ef36103d ("mwifiex: Don't abort on small, spec-compliant
vendor IEs") adjusted the ieee_types_vendor_header struct, which
inadvertently messed up the offsets used in
mwifiex_is_wpa_oui_present(). Add that offset back in, mirroring
mwifiex_is_rsn_oui_present().
As it stands, commit 63d7ef36103d breaks compatibility with WPA (not
WPA2) 802.11n networks, since we hit the "info: Disable 11n if AES is
not supported by AP" case in mwifiex_is_network_compatible().
Fixes: 63d7ef36103d ("mwifiex: Don't abort on small, spec-compliant vendor IEs")
