[PATCH v2 0/4] wifi: libertas: IE handling fixes

[Doug Brown <doug@schmorgal.com>]

This series implements two fixes for the libertas driver that restore
compatibility with modern wpa_supplicant versions, and adds support for
WPS in the process.

1) Better handling of the RSN/WPA IE in association requests:
   The previous logic was always just grabbing the first one, and didn't
   handle multiple IEs properly, which wpa_supplicant adds nowadays.

2) Support for IEs in scan requests:
   Modern wpa_supplicant always adds an "extended capabilities" IE,
   which violates max_scan_ie_len in this driver. Go ahead and allow
   scan IEs, and handle WPS based on the info that Dan provided.

These changes have been tested on a Marvell PXA168-based device with a
Marvell 88W8686 Wi-Fi chipset. I've confirmed that with these changes
applied, modern wpa_supplicant versions connect properly and WPS also
works correctly (tested with "wpa_cli -i wlan0 wps_pbc any").

Dan, I wanted to point out that based on my packet sniffing, I
determined that the 0x011B TLV automatically wraps its contents in a
vendor-specific IE header. I may have misunderstood and you were already
saying that, but I wanted to clarify just to be sure. If I explicitly
included the WPS IE's 2-byte 0xDD/length header inside of the TLV data,
I ended up with a duplicate 0xDD, with the outer one having a length
that was 2 more than the inner/original. Wireshark barfed on it.

Changes since V1 (which was a single patch linked here [1]):

- Switch to cfg80211_find_*_elem when looking for specific IEs,
  resulting in cleaner/safer code.
- Use mrvl_ie_data struct for cleaner manipulation of TLV buffer, and
  fix capitalization of the "data" member to avoid checkpatch warnings.
- Implement idea suggested by Dan to change max_scan_ie_len to be
  nonzero and enable WPS support in probe requests while we're at it.
- Remove "Fixes:" tag; I'm not sure if it's still appropriate or not
  with it depending on the capitalization fix.
- Clarify comments.
