This probably still needs a bit more work.

There are a couple more instances of `sizeof()` that should probably be
audited and adjusted:

drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/11n.c:414:         *buffer += sizeof(struct mwifiex_ie_types_chan_list_param_set);
drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/11n.c:415:         ret_len += sizeof(struct mwifiex_ie_types_chan_list_param_set);
