Please list the various renames you are doing.

BeaconPeriod -> beacon_period
DSConfig -> ds_config
ATIMWindow -> atim_window

etc...

And it's generally better to do these while avoiding
changing line breaks.


There are maintainers that also would want these
renames done in individual separate patches.

It's also frequently better to use a temporary pointer
and convert these relatively long indirections to
something simpler like:

<whatever_type> *cfg = &pdev_network->configuration;

*(__le16 *)ie = cpu_to_le16(cfg->beacon_period);

etc...

in separate patches.
