This patch changes too many things at once to review comfortably.  It
random changes to several files all jumbled together.  Break it apart
into logical chunks and resend.

This for loop is a quite nasty.  It would be better to check "j"
separately inside the loop.  There should be spaces around the divide
operation but really the "j" condition should just be:

	j < ARRAY_SIZE(pBSSNode->abyCSSPK)

You have changed the logic here without meaning to.  Can you spot the
bug?

I don't like the way the lines are broken at all.  This is a randomly
indented text jumble.  *SPLATCH!*.

If you need to break up a compound condition put the "&&" at the end
of the first line instead of at the start of the second line.
Multi-line indents get curly braces for readability, even though they
are not needed for syntax reasons.  So it would be:

				} else {
					/* any vendor checks here */
					pBSSNode->abyCSSPK[j++] = WLAN_11i_CSS_UNKNOWN;
				}

I know that is over the 80 character limit, so checkpatch.pl will
complain but checkpatch.pl is a perl script and not the king of the
world.  Don't make the code worse just to please a perl script.

The real reason we are going past the end of the line here is because
the code is indented 40 characters to begin with.  You could bring it in
one indent level by reversing the break condition.

			if (pRSN->len < 8 + i * 4 + 4)
				break;
