From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> commit 0016d3201753b59f3ae84b868fe66c86ad256f19 upstream. The new opmode notification used this attribute with a u8, when it's documented as a u32 and indeed used in userspace as such, it just happens to work on little-endian systems since userspace isn't doing any strict size validation, and the u8 goes into the lower byte. Fix this.
