Subject: [PATCH] wifi: ath12k: fix channel list copy on big endian
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 13:54:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317-fix-channel-list-copy-v1-1-5e1e5ae1c5d5@westermo.com> (raw)

The ath12k_wmi_scan_req_arg structure defines the channel list in
CPU-native order, while wmi_start_scan_cmd expects the values in
little-endian format. The simple memcpy causes the hardware scan to fail on
big-endian architectures. Set __le32* type for the tmp_ptr and swap channel
values to support both architectures correctly.
