[PATCH 4.9 095/105] brcmfmac: setup passive scan if requested by user-space

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Oct 10 2017 - 16:45:53 EST


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

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

From: Arend Van Spriel <arend.vanspriel@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 35f62727df0ed8e5e4857e162d94fd46d861f1cf upstream.

The driver was not properly configuring firmware with regard to the
type of scan. It always performed an active scan even when user-space
was requesting for passive scan, ie. the scan request was done without
any SSIDs specified.
