Subject: [PATCH] wcn36xx: Set sw-scan chan to 0 when not associated
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2020 03:01:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200731020157.744145-1-bryan.odonoghue@linaro.org> (raw)

A patch in ath/pending rewrites the software scan for the wcn36xx to
accommodate multiplexing with data, link monitoring and so on.

However if a device disassociates from an AP then the last operating
channel will not be re-scanned.

After some discussion and testing on this topic

https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg201242.html
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg201254.html

this patch implements a relatively simple fix. It sets the initial software
scan channel to 0 if we are not associated with an AP or to the current
operating channel if we are assciated with an AP.
