[PATCH 04/20] staging: wfx: simplify handling of beacon filter during join process

From: Jerome Pouiller
Date: Wed Apr 15 2020 - 12:12:47 EST


From: JÃrÃme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@xxxxxxxxxx>

When the device joins an AP, beacon are forwarded to the host. Once has
retrieved all necessary parameters, we can start to filter the beacon
(and only beacon with changed/new data will be forwarded).

Currently, the driver detect beacons in data Rx process. It is far more
easier to just wait for the BSS_CHANGED_BEACON_INFO event.
