Good call. I think this is the right delta:

-               *buffer += sizeof(struct mwifiex_ie_types_chan_list_param_set);
-               ret_len += sizeof(struct mwifiex_ie_types_chan_list_param_set);
+               *buffer += struct_size(chan_list, chan_scan_param, 1);
+               ret_len += struct_size(chan_list, chan_scan_param, 1);

I will send a v3.
