+Subject: wpa_supplicant: Fix parsing of max_oper_chwidth
+
+The max_oper_chwidth is parsed in wpa_config_set as INT_RANGE (see
+ssid_fields). The actual parsing for INT_RANGE is done by
+wpa_config_parse_int which can only store the result as full integer.
+
+max_oper_chwidth is stored as u8 (a single byte) in wpa_ssid. This means
+that on little endian systems, the least significant byte of the parsed
+value are really stored in the max_oper_chwidth. But on big endian system,
+the only most significant byte is stored as max_oper_chwidth. This means
+that 0 is always stored because the provided range doesn't allow any other
+value for systems with multi-byte-wide integers.
+
+This also means that for common systems with 4-byte-wide integers, the
+remaining 3 bytes were written after the actual member of the struct. This
+should not have influenced the behavior of succeeding members because these
+bytes would have been part of the padding between the members on most
+systems.
+
+Increasing its size to a full int fixes the write operations outside of the
+member and allows to use the max_oper_chwidth setting on big endian
+systems.
