[PATCH 15/16] wcn36xx: don't pad beacons for mesh

From: Bjorn Andersson
Date: Tue Mar 29 2016 - 02:07:30 EST


From: Jason Mobarak <jam@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Patch "wcn36xx: Pad TIM PVM if needed" has caused a regression in mesh
beaconing. The field tim_off is always 0 for mesh mode, and thus
pvm_len (referring to the TIM length field) and pad are both incorrectly
calculated. Thus, msg_body.beacon_length is incorrectly calculated for
mesh mode. Fix this.
