Hmm.

That makes sense, sure.

Also makes sense, so we tell it how many we allocated early.

Note netdev we dropped the special comment style requirement, so
wouldn't mind

 /*
  * None of ...
  * ...
  */

here either.

So this tells it how many were actually used, in this branch, makes
sense.

Functionally, all of this seems OK.

However,

>       request->ssids = (void *)&request->channels[n_channels];

is this not checked? I mean, if you have n_channels=5 and then take
&channels[5] I can see how that makes sense, but arguably the compiler
might complain if you have &channels[10] for an array you told it has 5
entries?
