Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] wifi: rtl8xxxu: Add __packed to struct rtl8723bu_c2h

This struct is used to access a sequence of bytes received from the
wifi chip. It must not have any padding bytes between the members.

This doesn't change anything on my system, possibly because currently
none of the members need more than byte alignment.

Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] wifi: rtl8xxxu: Introduce rtl8xxxu_update_ra_report

The ra_report struct is used for reporting the TX rate via
sta_statistics. The code which fills it out is duplicated in two
places, and the RTL8188EU will need it in a third place. Move this
code into a new function rtl8xxxu_update_ra_report.

Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] wifi: rtl8xxxu: Fix the channel width reporting

The gen 2 chips RTL8192EU and RTL8188FU periodically send the driver
reports about the TX rate, and the driver passes these reports to
sta_statistics. The reports from RTL8192EU may or may not include the
channel width. The reports from RTL8188FU do not include it.

Only access the c2h->ra_report.bw field if the report (skb) is big
enough.

The other problem fixed here is that the code was actually never
changing the channel width initially reported by
rtl8xxxu_bss_info_changed because the value of RATE_INFO_BW_20 is 0.

Today, I look up if we have a better choice, and offsetofend() can make thing simple.

Hi,
I am trying to merge this patch into the linux source tree (Mr. Torvalds' updated source tree) and find a confliection in patch 3/3.
I think you should move the rcu_read_unlock() that originally located in line 4657 to line 4682(right after the if-else section)
to make this patch work normally.
