This behavior makes any driver relying on SAE external auth to switch AKM suite to big endian if it is WLAN_AKM_SUITE_SAE. A fix bringing compatibility with both endianness has been brought into wpa_supplicant, however we must keep compatibility with older versions, while trying to reduce the occurences of this manual conversion in wireless drivers. Add the be32 conversion specifically on WLAN_AKM_SUITE_SAE in nl80211 layer to keep compatibility with older wpa_supplicant versions.
