A patch to enhance add_fixed_field dissector 
* Replace proto_tree_add_uint/boolean/... by proto_tree_add_item
* Replace some macro by bitmask (TSI..)
* Other stuff...

The code is checked and fuzzed 

There is a strange code : 
                    case SM_ACTION_DLS_RESPONSE:
                      add_fixed_field(action_tree, tvb, offset,
FIELD_CATEGORY_CODE);
                      add_fixed_field(action_tree, tvb, offset+1,
FIELD_DLS_ACTION_CODE);
                      add_fixed_field(action_tree, tvb, offset+2,
FIELD_STATUS_CODE);
                      add_fixed_field(action_tree, tvb, offset+4,
FIELD_DST_MAC_ADDR);
                      add_fixed_field(action_tree, tvb, offset+10,
FIELD_SRC_MAC_ADDR);
                      length += 16;
                      if (!hf_ieee80211_ff_status_code)
                        add_fixed_field(action_tree, tvb, offset+16,
FIELD_CAP_INFO);
                      break;

hf_ieee80211_ff_status_code is always Positive (TRUE) ? and the code is never
execute

Also for FIELD_ACTION, It would not be a good idea to create a sub dissector ?
