Current hw_scan implementation does not trigger offloaded hardware scan and seems to only put the device in a kind of listening mode (beacon/probe-response) for software scan. Since no probe request are generated by the software, current scanning method is similar to a passive scan. This patch introduces support for 'true' hardware offloaded scan. Hardware scan is configured and started via the start-scan-offload firmware message. Once scan has been completed a scan indicator message is received from firmware. Moreover, this patch includes support for directed probe-request, allowing connection with hidden APs. It also fixes scan issues with band-steering AP which are not 'visible' with passive scan (due to hidden ssid in beacons). Let's keep the 'legacy' scanning method in case scan-offload is not supported. Signed-off-by: Loic Poulain <loic.poulain@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>
