Commit 63d7ef36103d ("mwifiex: Don't abort on small, spec-compliant
vendor IEs") adjusted the ieee_types_vendor_header struct, which
inadvertently messed up the offsets used in
mwifiex_is_wpa_oui_present(). Add that offset back in, mirroring
mwifiex_is_rsn_oui_present().

As it stands, commit 63d7ef36103d breaks compatibility with WPA (not
WPA2) 802.11n networks, since we hit the "info: Disable 11n if AES is
not supported by AP" case in mwifiex_is_network_compatible().

This isn't seen in linux-next yet.  Still pending review?

In anyway,

Apparently not.

I guess? Probably mostly pending maintainer attention.

Also, Johannes already had noticed (and privately messaged me): this
patch took a while to show up on the linux-wireless Patchwork
instance. So the first review (from Guenter Roeck) and my extra reply
noting the -stable regression didn't make it to Patchwork:

Thanks. Hopefully Kalle can pick it up.

Correct, I was offline for few days.
