A lot of these changes don't seem to match what I thought the
linux kernel code style is.

eg:
>  void cfg80211_bss_age(struct cfg80211_registered_device *dev,
> -                      unsigned long age_secs);

Args no longer lined up.

> +		pos = (u8 *) &hdr->addr4;
no space after cast?

> -	p1 = (u8*)(ht_capa);
> +	p1 = (u8 *)(ht_capa);
Still extra ().

I'm also not sure (personally) this sort of churn is useful.
