This change adds support for multi-scheduled scan in the driver. It
currently relies on g-scan support in firmware and will set struct
wiphy::max_sched_scan_reqs accordingly. This is limited to 16 concurrent
requests.

The firmware currently has a limit of 64 channels that can be configured
for all requests in total regardless whether there are duplicates. So if
a request uses 35 channels there are 29 channels left for another request.
When user-space does not specify any channels cfg80211 will add all
channels defined by the wiphy instance to the request, which makes
reaching the limit rather easy for dual-band devices.

3 patches set to Changes Requested.

9736151 [V4,1/3] brcmfmac: add support multi-scheduled scan
9736147 [V4,2/3] brcmfmac: add mutex to protect pno requests
9736149 [V4,3/3] brcmfmac: add scheduled scan support for specified BSSIDs
Not seeing it here using gcc version 4.8.4 (Ubuntu
4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.3).
My version is:

gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4) 5.4.0 20160609

I don't think that's really exocit version of the compiler, or is it?
Nope.

Also tried using W=1 on the make command
line. Getting a bunck of other warnings, but not the ones above.
This was without W=1, just a default compilation with all wireless
drivers enabled.

Do you want me to fix it?
Yes, please. I try to keep the patches warning free, even if they are
false warnings.
Will do. And thanks again for the reminder ;-)
