This is the only place where an array of u32 is needed, because of

        cmd->ch_bit_map1 = cpu_to_le32(tmp_ch_bitmap[0]);
        cmd->ch_bit_map2 = cpu_to_le32(tmp_ch_bitmap[1]);

All the others should use DECLARE_BITMAP, including reg_ch_conf_last 
which was already using __aligned.  As Peter mentioned they should
also use set_bit_le.  Actually they do not need locked access at all
because the only code paths to the set_bit take a mutex.

There is one other place that is accessing the items of the array, but
it is fixed easily.  The following patch should do everything:

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
Subject: [PATCH] wlcore: simplify/fix/optimize reg_ch_conf_pending operations

Bitmaps are defined on unsigned longs, so the usage of u32[2] in the
wlcore driver is incorrect.  As noted by Peter Zijlstra, casting arrays
to a bitmap is incorrect for big-endian architectures.

When looking at it I observed that:

- operations on reg_ch_conf_pending is always under the wl_lock mutex,
so set_bit is overkill

- the only case where reg_ch_conf_pending is accessed a u32 at a time is
unnecessary too.

This patch cleans up everything in this area, and changes tmp_ch_bitmap
to have the proper alignment.
