The memory layout for scan requests was rather wrong,
we put the scan SSIDs before the channels which could
lead to the channel pointers being unaligned in memory.
It turns out that using a pointer to the channel array
isn't necessary anyway since we can embed a zero-length
array into the struct.

Did you have to quote the whole patch (and top-post) for that?
Any reason you can't apply patches to compat-wireless?
