No why?

I think we should make a first patch (that doesn't add TPE yet) that
changes the function to ieee80211_parse_elems() and removes all the
ieee80211_bss_get_ie() / cfg80211_find_ext_ie() calls in favour of just
parsing once, and then looking at the elements there.

Then your TPE patch becomes trivial since the elems are already there?

Right!
