The variable "info_element" is of the following type:
struct rtllib_info_element *info_element
rtllib_info_element is a struct containing the following fields as
defined in drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib.h:
struct rtllib_info_element {
u8 id;
u8 len;
u8 data[];
} __packed;
The following code of interest (to which this patch applies) is
supposed to check if the "info_element->len" is greater than 4 and
equal to 6, if this is satisfied then, the last two bytes (the
4th and 5th index of u8 "data" array) are copied into
"network->CcxRmState".
Currently the code uses "memcpy()" with the source as
"&info_element[4]" which would copy in wrong and unintended
information.
This patch rectifies this error by using "&info_element->data[4]" which
rightly copies the last two bytes as the required state information.
