What git hash are you on?  Is that the line:

	memcpy(&psurveyPara->ch[i], &ch[i], sizeof(struct ieee80211_channel));

Are you sure that's the line which crashes?  According to Smatch and my
simple grep that's dead code because "ch" is always NULL.

I feel a bit bad for not spotting this in review because I was looking
for that kind of bug.  I still don't immediately spot where the bug is.
