Subject: [PATCH 0/2] staging: wlan-ng: Avoid duplicate header in tx/rx frames

Hi,

In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid
intentionally writing across neighboring fields.

In this case, there is a lot of redundant struct member declarations,
and everything can be made smaller, more description, and drop a
field-spanning memcpy() call all at the same time. The result is no
warning from the future FORTIFY_SOURCE and identical machine code.

Thanks,

-Kees
