Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: synchronize scan off/on-channel and PS states
commit aacde9ee45225f7e0b90960f479aef83c66bfdc0 upstream.
Since:
commit b23b025fe246f3acc2988eb6d400df34c27cb8ae

mac80211: Optimize scans on current operating channel.
we do not disable PS while going back to operational channel (on
ieee80211_scan_state_suspend) and deffer that until scan finish.
But since we are allowed to send frames, we can send a frame to AP
without PM bit set, so disable PS on AP side. Then when we switch
to off-channel (in ieee80211_scan_state_resume) we do not enable PS.
Hence we are off-channel with PS disabled, frames are not buffered
by AP.
To fix remove offchannel_ps_disable argument and always enable PS when
going off-channel and disable it when going on-channel, like it was
before.

[ herton: adjust context, and patch extra ieee80211_offchannel_return/
ieee80211_offchannel_stop_vifs calls in ieee80211_work_work (also
drop change to ieee80211_sw_roc_work, which didn't exist yet) ]
