The two members min_scan_time and max_scan_time of structure
"mwifiex_ie_types_btcoex_scan_time" are of two bytes each. The values
are assigned directtly from firmware without endian conversion handling.
So, wrong datas will get saved in big-endian systems.

This patch converts the values into cpu's byte order before assigning them
into the local members.

I would like to see Reviewed-by from someone else before I apply this.

Along with this change, you need to define these elements as __le16 in scan_tlv structure. Ensure that sparse compilation is passed with your final patch.

Hi Amitkumar,

Thanks for your suggestion.
I have added this in scan_tlv structure to fix the sparse compilation
warnings. Updated patch v2 is sent.
Please verify this.
