mac80211: Fix a warning on changing to monitor mode from STA
nothing needs to be done for monitor/AP_VLAN mode on calling ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify -> drv_bss_info_changed with the change flag 'BSS_CHANGED_IDLE'. 'wl1271' seems to use BSS_CHANGED_IDLE only for STA and IBSS mode. further the non-idle state of the monitor mode is taken care by the 'count' variable which counts non-idle interfaces. ieee80211_idle_off(local, "in use") will be called. this fixes the following WARNING when we have initially STA mode (network manager running) and not associated, and change it to monitor mode with network manager disabled and bringing up the monitor mode. this changes the idle state from 'true' (STA unassociated) to 'false' (MONITOR mode) exposed by the commit 405385f8ce7a2ed8f82e216d88b5282142e1288b "mac80211: set bss_conf.idle when vif is connected" WARNING: net/mac80211/main.c:212 ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211]() Hardware name: 64756D6 Pid: 3835, comm: ifconfig Tainted: G O 3.3.0-rc3-wl #9 Call Trace: [<c0133b02>] warn_slowpath_common+0x72/0xa0 [<fc8e8c3f>] ? ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211] [<fc8e8c3f>] ? ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211] [<c0133b52>] warn_slowpath_null+0x22/0x30 [<fc8e8c3f>] ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211] [<fc8f9de3>] __ieee80211_recalc_idle+0x113/0x430 [mac80211] [<fc8fabc6>] ieee80211_do_open+0x156/0x7e0 [mac80211] [<fc8f8a25>] ? ieee80211_check_concurrent_iface+0x25/0x180 [mac80211] [<c015dd9f>] ? raw_notifier_call_chain+0x1f/0x30 [<fc8fb290>] ieee80211_open+0x40/0x80 [mac80211] [<c05894f6>] __dev_open+0x96/0xe0 [<c068fba5>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_bh+0x35/0x40 [<c05881d9>] __dev_change_flags+0x109/0x170 [<c0589423>] dev_change_flags+0x23/0x60 [<c05f3770>] devinet_ioctl+0x6a0/0x770 ieee80211 phy0: device no longer idle - in use Cc: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
