Subject: Re: [PATCH v1 net] cfg80211: pmsr: use correct nla_get_uX functions

Couple of minor comments:

The subject is missing wifi: prefix.

Maybe mention a bit more clearly that the _policy_ actually defines them
with those types, so the users are incorrect, vs. a possible scenario
where the kernel's documentation is just incorrect and we have to keep
the code as-is for userspace to continue to function.

I believe the changes are correct since the policy wants the right types
and then on little-endian platforms it'll all work ...
