The process_p2p_ps_ie function parses the information elements of a beacon message and extracts p2p-related info. process_p2p_ps_ie does not receive a pointer to the information elements as one would expect. Instead it receives a pointer to the timestamp field in the beacon message. process_p2p_ps_ie increments this pointer by _BEACON_IE_OFFSET_ to jump to the start of the information elements (and decreases the buffer length accordingly). This is clumsy and hard to understand. Rewrite this such that process_p2p_ps_ie takes a pointer to the information elements and the total length of all elements. Check up-front that the total length is not negative.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
