    wifi: ath12k: indicate to mac80211 scan complete with aborted flag for ATH12K_SCAN_STARTING state · c2ebb1d1

    Scan failure can not be recovered from when running a loop of the
    following steps:
    1. run scan: "iw wlan scan".
    2. run command: echo assert > /sys/kernel/debug/ath12k/wcn7850\ hw2.0/simulate_fw_crash
       immediately after step 1.
    
    result:
    scan failed and can not recover even when wlan recovery succeeds:
    command failed: Device or resource busy (-16)
    
    reason:
    When scan arrives, WMI_START_SCAN_CMDID is sent to the firmware and
    function ath12k_mac_op_hw_scan() returns, then simulate_fw_crash arrives
    and the scan started event does not arrive, and then it starts to do
    recovery of wlan. __ath12k_mac_scan_finish() which is called from
    ath12k_core_halt() is one step of recovery, it will not call
    ieee80211_scan_completed() by logic currently because the scan state is
    ATH12K_SCAN_STARTING. Thus it leads the scan not being completed in
    mac80211, and leads all consecutive scans failing with -EBUSY in
    nl80211_trigger_scan even after wlan recovery success.
    
    Indicate scan complete with aborted flag to mac80211 for
    ATH12K_SCAN_STARTING to allow recovery from scan failed with "Device or
    resource busy (-16)" after wlan recovery.
    
    Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.0-03427-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1.15378.4
