[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 158/254] mac80211: use secondary channel offset IE also beacons during CSA

[Luis Henriques]

3.16.7-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 84469a45a1bedec9918e94ab2f78c5dc0739e4a7 upstream.

If we are switching from an HT40+ to an HT40- channel (or vice-versa),
we need the secondary channel offset IE to specify what is the
post-CSA offset to be used.  This applies both to beacons and to probe
responses.

In ieee80211_parse_ch_switch_ie() we were ignoring this IE from
beacons and using the *current* HT information IE instead.  This was
causing us to use the same offset as before the switch.

Fix that by using the secondary channel offset IE also for beacons and
don't ever use the pre-switch offset.  Additionally, remove the
"beacon" argument from ieee80211_parse_ch_switch_ie(), since it's not
needed anymore.
