It's always better to try to make the code clearer than
merely shut up checkpatch bleats.

The whole following block could be outdented one level
by changing this test to

	if (!(pattr->subtype & WIFI_DATA_TYPE))
		return 0;

The repetitive call to get_bssid(pmlmepriv) could be saved
by performing it outside this test

	u8 bssid = get_bssid(pmlmepriv);

and then using bssid in each memcpy/ether_addr_copy

All of these memcpy could probably use ether_addr_copy if

	struct pkt_attrib {
		...
		u8      dst[ETH_ALEN];
		...
	};

was changed to 

		u8	dst[ETH_ALEN] __aligned(2);
		

so these would be

			ether_addr_copy(pwlanhdr->addr2, pattr->src);

and pwlanhdr isn't a particularly valuable name
for an automatic either.  It's hungarian like.

So I would suggest something like the below that
avoids any long lines instead and also removes
unnecessary multi-line statements without renaming.
