    mac80211: support hw scan while idle · 885bd8ec
    Eliad Peller authored
    Currently, mac80211 goes to idle-off before starting a scan.
    However, some devices that implement hw scan might not
    need going idle-off in order to perform a hw scan, and
    thus saving some energy and simplifying their state machine.
    
    (Note that this is also the case for sched scan - it
    currently doesn't make mac80211 go idle-off)
    
    Add a new flag to indicate support for hw scan while idle.
