It seems to be related to passing "le16_to_cpu(sta->he_6ghz_capa.capa)".
Probably typeof(le16_to_cpu(sta->he_6ghz_capa.capa)) goes berserk.
le16_to_cpu() is a complex macro on big-endian. I had expected to see
a similar issue on powerpc, but I don't.
Using an intermediate "u16 capa = le16_to_cpu(sta->he_6ghz_capa.capa)"
fixes the problem.

Thanks, that works, too, so (compile)

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
