Is this behavior just constrained to QMI_DATA_LEN TLVs?

I'm looking at downstream Android WLAN code and it has the same discrepancy,
so it appears the code generator is always producing a u32 member in the host
struct to hold a QMI_DATA_LEN member even though the actual element size as
defined in the qmi_elem_info array is either sizeof(u8) or sizeof(u16).

Does this issue get fixed if we change the member in the host struct, i.e. for
the issue mentioned (that I chopped off) modify:
struct qmi_wlanfw_request_mem_ind_msg_v01 {
-	u32 mem_seg_len;
+	u8 mem_seg_len;
