Re: [PATCH] mac80211: invoke software scan when hardware scan returns EPERM

From: Sanjay Kumar Konduri <redacted>

Currently, software scan in mac80211 is used by drivers, which don't
implement hardware scan. However some drivers which have implemented
hardware scan may also sometimes want to use software scan in mac80211.
Such drivers can return '-EPERM' and ask mac80211 to fallback to
software scan with this patch.

This and the following rsi patch should in the same patchset as there's
a dependency. This being patch 1 and "rsi: add support for hardware scan
offload" patch 2.

Also Johanne's address (Johannes@codeaurora.org, "Berg
<johannes"@sipsolutions.net) looked bogus so I fixed it.
